Germany: Cybercrime & Cybersecurity Agencies

In Germany, cybercrime against people goes to the police cybercrime unit, and technical incidents go to the national CERT.

Police cybercrime unit

Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), cybercrime investigations

Part of: Federal Ministry of the Interior

Official website

National CERT / cybersecurity authority

CERT-Bund (Federal Office for Information Security, BSI)

Part of: Federal Office for Information Security (BSI)

Official website

Notes

bka.de was unreachable from the fetcher, so BKA cybercrime work (with the ZIT prosecutors at Generalstaatsanwaltschaft Frankfurt) was confirmed from bka.de search results only; CERT-Bund serves federal authorities.

Lost money? Call your bank first

The bank can often stop a transfer if it hears from you quickly. See the official fraud lines in how to report bank fraud in Germany.
