Our Work
Helping cybercrime victims
A multi-disciplinary network of certified responders, and law and policy that gets victims justice fast.
Led by the Cyber Law & First Response Initiative, an ISAC Foundation centre. 3 commitments for 2030.
The problem and who we serve
Most victims never find a competent responder in the first 48 hours, and most cases fail on evidence. We train Cyber Crime Intervention Officers, publish the evidence standard, and make verified responders reachable.
- Beneficiaries
- Victims of online fraud and cybercrime; police and courts
- Geography
- India, with district-level coverage targets

3 projects need funding to meet these commitments
Hacked911 First Responders
Make sure no victim faces cybercrime alone.
The first hours after a cybercrime matter most. We train certified Cyber Crime Intervention Officers and make verified help reachable when victims need it.
Our 2030 Commitment: 100,000 Certified First Responders
Hacked911 Cities
Bring trusted cybercrime help to every city.
Each Hacked911 city builds a network of fifty certified responders, so victims can find verified help close to home.

Open Source Forensic Labs
Help police turn digital evidence into justice.
Too many cybercrime cases fail on evidence. Open source forensic labs give police stations the means to collect and preserve digital evidence to a published standard.
