Internet, Social Media & Cybercrime

It is not common knowledge that some activity online, including on social media, can result in committing a criminal offence. Indeed, internet and social media offences can incur serious penalties, with potential prison sentences and substantial fines a reality.

Possible allegations or charges may involve:

• Cyber bullying/trolling
• Malicious communications
• Hacking
• Internet and social media fraud
• Phishing
• Making, distributing or downloading indecent images
• Online grooming
• Online scamming
• Revenge porn
• Sending viruses online

Cyber-crime is a relatively new and constantly expanding field. Investigations with an online or digital element are without exception technically challenging and complex.

The law surrounding the use of technology and conducting criminal activity has undergone a great deal of development in recent years because of this.
