Cyber Initiative and Resource Fusion Unit

The Cyber Initiative and Resource Fusion Unit is a spin-off of the Internet Crime Complaint Center that follows the early investigative trail in some complex technical cases. The Unit's analysts eliminate false leads and refine a case before it is referred to a local or international law enforcement agency or task force. The Unit is supported by online organizations and merchants. Federal agents and analysts from industry and academia work together to find out where the crime originates, who is behind it, and how to fight it. They identify cybercrime trends and technologies, develop significant cases, and help law enforcement agencies worldwide identify and combat cybercrime]]s.
