A new resource is available to assist North Yorkshire residents in protecting themselves against cyber enabled fraud.

The Cyber Helpline  provides free, expert support for victims of cyber-crime in the region. If successful it will be rolled out across the country.

The Cyber Helpline is a not-for-profit that has had support from the Department of Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and has reached the semi-finals of the National Cyber Security Centre Accelerator programme. 

Using volunteer cyber security experts and a smart chatbot they provide free, expert help to any member of the public 13 years old and older. Its focus is helping individuals understand, contain, recover and learn from online security issues.
