How to Report a Cybercrime or Phishing Attempt via Kollona Amn

You can report a cybercrime or phishing attempt in Saudi Arabia through Kollona Amn, a Ministry of Interior platform that lets the public flag security concerns directly to the relevant authorities. It works alongside, not instead of, a direct police report or bank fraud complaint when actual financial loss is involved.

What Kollona Amn Covers

Kollona Amn is designed as a general public safety and security reporting channel run by the Ministry of Interior, covering a range of concerns beyond just cybercrime. Phishing attempts, suspicious messages impersonating government or financial institutions, and other cyber-enabled fraud attempts fall within what it's designed to receive.

How to File a Report

1. Access the Kollona Amn platform or app and select the relevant reporting category
2. Describe the incident clearly, including when it happened and how you were contacted
3. Attach any evidence available - screenshots of the message, the suspicious link, or the sender's details
4. Note whether any financial loss or personal information compromise occurred, since this affects the urgency of follow-up

How This Fits With Other Reporting Channels

If money has actually been lost or is at risk, a Kollona Amn report should be filed alongside, not instead of, an immediate report to your bank's fraud department and a formal police report, since each channel triggers a different part of the response - the bank can act on the financial side while Kollona Amn and the police handle the broader security and investigative angle.

Key Takeaways

• Kollona Amn is a Ministry of Interior platform for reporting cybercrime and other security concerns.
• It complements, rather than replaces, a direct police report or bank fraud complaint.
• Detailed reports with evidence give authorities the best chance to act.

Conclusion

Kollona Amn gives you a direct, official channel to flag a phishing or cybercrime attempt, and it's worth using even for attempts that didn't succeed, since patterns matter to investigators. If real money is on the line, treat your bank and the police as the priority, with Kollona Amn as a valuable addition rather than the only step.
