What Are Cyber Crimes?
Cyber crimes are offenses that involve computers, electronic devices, networks, online accounts, or other forms of digital technology. Depending on the circumstances, conduct that occurs online or through a digital device may result in state or federal criminal charges. Cyber crime allegations may involve:
- Unauthorized access to computer systems
- Computer hacking
- Identity theft
- Online fraud
- Unauthorized use of electronic devices or accounts
- Theft or misuse of digital information
- Cyberstalking or online harassment
- Internet-based theft or other criminal activity
The specific charges and potential consequences depend on the nature of the alleged conduct, the amount of loss or damage involved, the technology used, and other circumstances of the case.
State and Federal Cyber Crime Investigations
Cyber crime investigations can involve Florida law enforcement agencies as well as federal authorities. Because digital evidence can be obtained from computers, phones, online accounts, and other electronic sources, these cases can involve complex investigations and evidence. An investigation does not necessarily mean that a person will be charged, but individuals who believe they are under investigation should take the situation seriously and consider speaking with an attorney before making statements to law enforcement.
