What Is a Cybercrime?
Cybercrime refers to criminal activities carried out using computers or the internet. Common charges in Reading, PA include:
- Hacking: Unauthorized system access and data theft or manipulation.
- Identity theft: Using someone’s digital information without permission.
- Phishing or online scams: Deceiving individuals for financial gain.

Defense Strategies for Cybercrime Cases
Every cybercrime case is different, but there are proven strategies for defending your reputation and rights:
- Challenging digital evidence: Investigating the collection, handling, and reliability of the prosecution’s technical evidence.
- Questioning intent: Many cybercrimes require proof of deliberate actions—a defense may involve demonstrating lack of intent or misunderstanding.
- Protecting constitutional rights: Unlawful searches or seizures of computers and devices can render evidence invalid.
- Highlighting mistaken identity: Digital footprints can be manipulated; proving someone else had access to your accounts or devices can be critical.
Our approach is to scrutinize every aspect of your case. We work to uncover weaknesses in the opposition’s claims, ensuring prosecutors are held to the highest burden of proof.
