Our crime team are expert serious fraud lawyers with experience of dealing with cybercrime and computer/internet fraud.
Common forms of cybercrime include:
1. phishing: using fake email messages to get personal information from internet users;
2. misusing personal information (identity theft);
3. hacking: shutting down or misusing websites or computer networks;
4. spreading hate and inciting terrorism;
5. distributing child pornography;
6. grooming: making sexual advances to minors.
Nowadays, all digital devices (including computers, tablets, and smartphones) are connected to the internet.
Computer and internet crime is becoming more sophisticated. It is also becoming easier to commit by persons without much in the way of I.T. skills. At all levels, the government is taking a strong stance in fighting cybercrime.
If you are suspected of committing an offence of this kind, the evidence will ordinarily be vast, complex and difficult to understand. It is therefore essential to ensure your legal team has the requisite experience to understand the evidence and assist you.
