Interpol Warns Against Underreporting of Cybercrimes Due to Name-Calling Fears
The global law enforcement agency has issued a warning about the alarming underreporting of online scams, citing fear of being labeled as “pigs” as one of the primary reasons. According to Interpol, people are hesitant to come forward and report these cybercrimes due to concerns over public scrutiny.
In a recent statement, Interpol emphasized that these types of incidents are on the rise, with many victims unwilling to file complaints or cooperate with authorities. This reluctance is largely attributed to the fear of being ridiculed or shunned by their communities for reporting fraudulent activities.
“We are deeply concerned about this trend and urge individuals to report any suspicious online activity immediately,” said an Interpol spokesperson. “It’s crucial that we work together to combat these crimes, but only if people feel safe and supported in doing so.”
The warning comes at a time when cybersecurity threats have become increasingly sophisticated, with scammers exploiting vulnerabilities in various systems and platforms to steal sensitive information or disrupt services.
