Australia: Historic agreement signed partnership between NSW Police and ID Support NSW to fight identity crime in NSW

2024-12-19  Ian Fleming

Cyber criminals and identity thieves have been put on notice thanks to a new partnership between NSW Police and ID Support NSW which will leverage the expertise of the agencies to fight cybercrime and create a faster and more effective response to identity theft. Efforts between State Crime Command’s Cybercrime Squad and ID Support NSW saw 959 individuals identified as being potentially impacted; all of whom were contacted to alert them of the compromise and supported in taking steps to prevent it happening again. ID Support NSW, within Cyber Security NSW, helps people restore their stolen or misused identity documents and shares free resources and tools with individuals, groups, and small businesses to protect against identity theft and data breaches.
