Cyber threat response and assistance

FBI Cyber employs a global network of cyber threat experts to investigate cybercriminals, disrupt malicious cyber activity, seek justice, and prevent crime.

We provide information, experts, and capabilities to inform your cyber threat response
efforts. We even notify targeted entities who may be unaware they have been compromised and introduce them to decryption capabilities or other known mitigation tools, if available.

When possible, FBI Cyber will assist in freezing, seizing, and returning stolen and extorted funds.

FBI Cyber: Fact versus fiction

•  The FBI provides information to help you respond to cyber intrusions. We do not restore systems or data.
• The FBI works with your IT team to collect evidence about cybercrime, with your consent. We do not search for unrelated activity when investigating a cyber intrusion.
• The FBI coordinates with your attorneys. We do not give legal or regulatory advice.
• The FBI works with your press team upon request. We do not publicize your cyber intrusion.
• The FBI seeks data about cybercriminals and shares this information with federal partners who have a need-to-know, like CISA. We do not seek information for regulatory purposes.
