The EU’s new European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) will be inaugurated at Europol in The Hague later today.

 

The facility will act as the "focal point" in the EU’s fight against cybercrime, against both businesses and private citizens. The centre is designed to provide greater international co-ordination in the fight against online fraud, child abuse and other cybercrimes which can't be effectively tackled by national police forces alone.
