In recent times, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and several other federal authorities have publicly declared an intensified pursuit of global tech-related criminal activities. This campaign includes both foreign nationals residing outside and within the United States who could potentially face extradition for prosecution in the U.S.
Companies that allegedly target U.S. enterprises and governmental agencies can face federal legal action. Authorities such as the DOJ, FBI, and more are leveraging civil forfeitures to recover U.S. entities’ losses and impose penalties to discourage foreign companies from compromising U.S. assets in the future.
If you’re accused of a tech-related crime, you can be certain that the government will exhaust every avenue to press charges. Consequently, it’s critical that you take every possible measure to safeguard your rights. You can commence this vital step by reaching out to Chambers Law Firm at 714-760-4088 for a complimentary legal consultation.
Exploring the Spectrum of Tech-Related Crime
Tech-related crimes encompass offenses committed using computers, internet connections, or local networks. Essentially, this term refers to a range of offenses where the illicit acts are executed via a computer system or another technology-based medium.
Tech-related offenses can manifest in various forms, including direct attacks on computer hardware and software, and indirect assaults using online threats such as malware and viruses. Additionally, tech crime can be committed by targeting an individual’s or organization’s financial assets. Instances of financial tech crime include phishing, fraud, and theft of sensitive fiscal information.
Typically, tech-related crimes are categorized into three primary types:
- Individual tech crime: These are crimes targeting individuals or a small group of people. Examples include email harassment, phishing, and cyberstalking.
- Data breaches and tech extortion: These offenses target entities or organizations rather than individuals.
- Tech crimes against the government: These are crimes aimed at compromising a nation’s security systems, like infiltrating government networks, hacking official websites, or circulating anti-government propaganda.
