The Manitoba Association of Chiefs of Police is honoured to collaborate with the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to help raise awareness regarding the personal safety of all children. Throughout May and June will be sharing valuable information for kids, teens, and caregivers through our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Our goal is to raise awareness so together we can reduce the incidence of sexually exploited children, and share education and prevention resources around child personal and online safety.

What do you do if you or someone you know has been victimized? Contact Cybertip.ca.

As Canada’s tipline for reporting online child sexual abuse and exploitation, Cybertip.ca is also a place for Canadians to turn to for help with concerns about shared intimate images, online luring, and other areas involving child victimization on the internet.

Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts a victim’s files. The attacker then demands a ransom from the victim to restore access to the data upon payment.

Users are shown instructions for how to pay a fee to get the decryption key. The costs can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands, payable to cybercriminals in Bitcoin.
