What is cyber crime?

Cyber crime refers to a variety of criminal offences that are conducted on the internet or where technology is used as a means or target of criminal intent.

The types of crime committed affect us in different ways. For example, teenagers may be subjected to bullying or harassment on social media platforms; an elderly person may be deceived into fraudulent pension scam or a data breach may occur in an organisation where all customer data is stolen.

Due to the far reaching effects such crimes have on both society and commerce the offences carry the same weight as real world crimes and are prosecuted as such.

Criminal tactics

The tactics used by cyber criminals vary based on the outcome they seek to achieve. For example, you may receive an email from a trusted source such as your bank, your employer or a high street brand that you subscribe to asking you to click on a link or download a document.

Such actions result in malware being placed on your computer which allows criminals to access and/or delete all your files or take over your webcam to record you doing something personal so they can blackmail you in return for restoring your files.

Malware (or hijacking your webcam) is also used to record you typing in usernames and passwords when accessing online bank accounts.

Identity theft

Identity theft is frequently orchestrated by highly organised criminal gangs. They are smart, industrious, tech-savvy and deadly.

Having deceived you by what ever means to infect your computer with malware they will sit, wait and record your activities over a period of time as they gather your personal information.

Your personal data may then be used to open bank accounts, apply for credit cards or a loan, make online purchases or to obtain a driving license.

Although the UK has relatively strict laws surrounding cyber-enacted crime the perpetrators are often located overseas therefore outside UK jurisdictional frameworks and law making. This makes it hard for authorities to pursue, let alone resolve cases.

In 2017, 17 million+ UK residents were victims of cyber crime – there were just 47 prosecutions.

Are you a victim of cyber crime?

As we have established, cyber crime comes in many different forms. If you or any member of your family have fallen victim to an act of technology-based crime we can help.

This may include deformation of character, online threats or harassment, disclosure of sexual images without consent, persistent or frequently unwanted contact which may be deemed as stalking or to a higher degree a child that has developed emotional trust with an elder online with the intent of sexual abuse or exploitation.

What ever your circumstances, rest assured that our investigations are highly discreet, do not leave a digital footprint, are strictly confidential and conducted in accordance with UK law.
