Now, there's somewhere to turn for help. A new free online resource for consumers and businesses has been created called the Cybercrime Response Unit (CRU) - kind of like a first-responder for cybercrime victims. Among other things, it assesses individual situations, provides assistance in reporting the crime to the proper authorities and helps a person secure his or her credit. In addition, the CRU will forensically scan your computer to confirm you've been victimized or if you're safe. Did you know: • Identity theft costs U.S. citizens an estimated $6.4 billion annually (US Department of Justice's (DOJ) National Crime Victimization Survey) If you think that you may be the victim of a cybercrime, check out the Cybercrime Response Unit and get the help that you need.
