Officer Ward
Cyber Defender & Detention Center Security Officer
Officer Ward believes that most people who disrespect the privelages of Cyberspace are more ignorant than criminal, and that most cyber criminals can be rehabilitated into faithful cyber citizens through education about the dangers of delinquency in Cyberspace.
Working closely with Commander Omni and the Cyber Defense Academy, Officer Ward hopes to secure Cyberspace for everyone.
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do

Cyber Criminals: Reporting Cyber Criminals
Just like any other crime, cyber criminals are going to keep getting away with committing cyber crimes if nobody ever reports them. By reporting cyber crimes you are not only helping Cyber Defenders reduce the amount of cyber crime, but you are also sending a message to all cyber criminals that their behavior will not be tolerated in Cyberspace.
Of course, I hope you're doing your part to protect yourself and your computer so you never need to report a cyber crime. But just in case you do, here's some tips for reporting cyber crimes.
For cyber bullying, it usually depends what the method of bullying is. Cyber bullying on a Web site can be reported to the site administrator or moderator, bullying over email or instant messenger can be reported to the ISP. If the bully is someone you go to school with, you can also report the bullying to your school. If the bullying involves threats of physical harm, you can report it to the police.
Other cyber crimes like hacking and identity theft can be reported to your local FBI office or to the Internet Crime Complaint Center Web site. For detailed information about whom to report specific types of cyber crimes to, visit the United States Department of Justice's cyber crime page.

Villainy
If this latest phishing attack has shown us anything, it's that Cyber Villains aren't strong enough to launch attacks individually and need to team up. This is a good sign that the Cyber Defenders are keeping them on their toes, so everyone keep up the good work!
Don't forget that social engineering attacks can be really sneaky, so be extra careful with your email.
