Our aim is to divert people positively, not to criminalise unnecessarily.
Under the National Crime Agency (NCA)’s Cyber Choices initiative, we help people make informed choices, and use their cyber skills in a legal way.
The Computer Misuse Act (CMA)
It’s important to know how the law relates to everyday scenarios. Use our CMA guide below to make sure you’re aware of what constitutes an offence.
