Federal Computer Crimes and Cyber Crime

Federal Lawyers

Due to continued problems with fraud, identity theft, hacking and a number of other serious offenses related to computers and the internet, the federal government has created and assigned entire task forces to the investigation and prosecution of computer crimes. These cases are often highly complex and technical due to the nature of the offenses and the fact that they are committed with computers or by and using the internet. There may be no specific “paper trail” to follow and an offender may be able to more easily conceal his or her actions.

Federal computer crime charges may come about from any of a number of areas of crime, including sex crimes (child pornography, kidnapping, luring a minor), theft or fraud, hacking, identity theft, and much more. The specific penalties that a defendant faces for a federal computer crime conviction will vary depending upon the particular offense. For example, while imprisonment may be a common denominator for all computer crimes, heavy fines and victim restitution are more likely in a case involving fraud and sex offender registration will likely be mandatory in a case involving child pornography. Criminal defense strategies applied in these situations will also need to be created for the particular offense, evidence involved and based upon the defendant’s needs.
