What is Cyber Crime?

phishingCyber crime is any crime committed using or targeting any computer system. Since we all depend on computers for almost every aspect of our lives, knowing the different types of cyber crime is essential to keeping your personal information and identity safe. Cyber crime in Florida is prosecuted as a felony and the damage caused by the crime can increase the potential charges and punishment.

Here are common types of cyber crime within Florida:

  • Cyberstalking crimes where an attacker obsessively stalks someone online through social media and other means of communication to get some form of submission.
  • Identity theft crimes where someone’s credit card or social security information is stolen and used to commit theft or fraud.
  • Hacking crimes where someone gets unauthorized access to a computer or network to steal personal information, get trade secrets, or disrupt business operations.
  • Malware crimes where trojans, viruses, or other malicious software change a computer’s normal functioning to commit other cyber crimes.

Our Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
