The promised replacement for the lack lustre Action Fraud service will not be delivered on time. The UK government and the City of London police promised a new online service for reporting cyber fraud by Q2 of this year but the contractors Capita and PwC have failed to deliver. Being well negotiated contract the UK citizens will be getting a substantial discount when the system comes online because these international IT suppliers over promised and under delivered. Sorry I inserted my dream scenario in the last sentence, odds on we will be paying more for less!

PwC and Capita did not respond to a request for comment by The Record – whilst still making their profit on a late project.
And still the threat actors and cyber criminals are scamming and stealing UK citizen’s cash.
I hope this makes you as angry as it does me. Read the report and see how much vapourware the police are talking about.
