Boston Computer Crime Lawyer
As the Internet continues to grow and expand, computer crimes become more prevalent. In the past few years, they have become more clearly defined and prosecuted under Massachusetts laws, and have increasingly come to the attention of both state and federal prosecutors.
It is illegal to use computers or the Internet to commit any crime, including but not limited to identity theft, fraud, money laundering, breaking into private computers or networks or producing or distributing child pornography. It is illegal to try to steal or coerce an individual to give up money in an email or through the Internet, or to modify, damage, disclose, copy programs or data, introduce a virus to a system or interfere with another person's Internet access or computer access.
Because the types of computer crimes vary in degree and severity, the punishments also vary greatly. Your best defense is to contact an experienced defense attorney as soon as possible in order to assure a proper investigation and due diligence is performed.
