Offenses Against Computer Users
Palm Beach Offenses Against Computer Users Attorney
Florida’s “offenses against computer users” law is our state law against hacking and potentially destructive unauthorized access to someone else’s computers. You may be charged with offenses against computer users for:
- Accessing, or causing to be accessed, another person’s computer or network without permission
- Disrupting or denying services on someone else’s computer system, or causing such disruption, affecting authorized users
- Destroying or damaging computers, systems, equipment or supplies without authorization
- Introducing a virus or other contaminant into someone else’s computer or system
Even more than other cyber crimes in Florida, charges of attacking someone else’s computer system may be poorly understood by the lawmakers and prosecutors behind the charges. Unfortuntely, a charge of offenses against computer users carries serious penalties, including potential jail time and loss of the computers and equipment law enforcement believes you used in the crime. That’s why it’s so important to contact South Florida cyber crime criminal defense lawyer Menachem M. Mayberg if you are charged with an offense against computer users. He understands technology and the law, and he knows how to use that knowledge to destroy the case against you.
