Overview

You should protect yourself and your family online from:

• fraud
• cyber bullying and stalking
• radicalisation

There's no single way of doing this. But you can:

• protect your computer and devices
• keep social media profiles private
• protect your money online when banking and shopping
• be careful about what you post
• report online crime and abuse to the police

If you've been the victim of an online crime, you can report it to Police Scotland:

• by telephone 999 (emergency) 101 (non-emergency)
• in person at any police station
