How do I report a cybercrime, like online fraud or hacking, in Bahrain?

Cybercrime is handled by the Anti-Cyber Crime Directorate, part of the Ministry of Interior's General Directorate of Anti-Corruption and Economic and Electronic Security.

Ways to report

What to have ready

If money left your account
Call your bank straight away as well, so it can try to stop or trace the payment.

What people miss
Don't delete the messages or the account conversations before you report. They are your evidence.

Steps

  1. Save screenshots, links, usernames and transfer details.
  2. Call 992 or use the online report form (or go to a police station).
  3. If money was taken, call your bank immediately.
