Cybercrime in Canada: What Victims Should Know
From phishing attacks to crypto scams, Canadians are increasingly falling victim to online crimes. And while awareness is rising, many people still don’t know what to do after the damage is done.
Whether you lost money in a fake investment, gave access to a scammer, or clicked a malicious link — here’s what you need to know.
Step 1: Secure Your Accounts Immediately
- Change all passwords (especially for banking, crypto, and email)
- Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) everywhere you can
- Contact your bank or payment provider to freeze or reverse transactions
Step 2: Report the Incident to Official Authorities
- ReportCyber: The national Canadian portal for cybercrime
- Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC): Tracks scam trends & collects victim data
- Local Police: Especially in cases of identity theft, impersonation, or fraud over $5,000
These reports are important for data collection, but let’s be honest: they rarely lead to recovery.

Time Is Critical
The faster you act, the higher the chances of recovery. Don’t wait until your money disappears into crypto tumblers or offshore accounts.
