UK launches landmark 'Report Fraud' service to tackle cybercrime and fraud

The City of London Police formally launched Report Fraud, a new UK-wide service to improve how victims report fraud and cybercrime and how cases are investigated, replacing the discredited Action Fraud. Powered by analytics platforms including Palantir Foundry and Microsoft services, the system aims to provide real-time data sharing with industry, richer intelligence, and proactive victim updates, while a national “Every Report Counts” campaign encourages reporting. Officials emphasize disrupting criminal profits by driving action from telecoms and technology companies, with a new government fraud strategy expected to further strengthen information sharing and coordinated responses.
