Offences David defends
Unauthorised access to computer systems under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (section 1), unauthorised access with intent to commit further offences (section 2), and unauthorised acts causing or creating risk of serious damage (section 3). Also online fraud, phishing, identity theft, and offences involving social media.
Computer Misuse Act 1990
The Computer Misuse Act 1990 makes it a criminal offence to access a computer system without authorisation, even if no damage is caused. Investigations typically involve the seizure and forensic examination of computers, phones, and cloud storage. David advises clients at the earliest opportunity to protect their position before any interview takes place.
Early advice is critical
Cybercrime investigations often begin with the seizure of devices rather than an arrest. If your devices have been seized by police, seek legal advice immediately before making any statement or attending a voluntary interview.
