"New Phishing Hotline Sent 5,000 Suspicious Emails in Just One Day"

The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) worked with the City of London Police to launch the Suspicious Email Reporting Service, which encourages people to report potential cyberattacks and scams to the authorities. Shortly after the service went live, the NCSC received more than 5,000 reports of suspicious emails, resulting in the discovery and takedown of over 80 coronavirus-related cybercriminal campaigns. According to the NCSC CEO Ciaran Martin, the successful response to this new service indicates that the UK is willing to unite in combatting cybercrimes such as phishing.
