The Australian federal government has launched a new cybercrime centre backed by federal law enforcement to deal with ongoing cyberattacks, online scams, and criminal activities on the darknet.
The AU$89 million (US$66 million) Joint Policing Cybercrime Coordination Centre (JPC3) will be based at the Australian Federal Police’s (AFP) headquarters in the state of New South Wales and is the latest announcement under the Morrison government’s $1.67 billion Cyber Security Strategy.
