Indiana defines computer and internet crimes as unauthorized actions involving digital devices, networks or online platforms. These offenses may include:
- Identity theft: Using another person’s personal information without consent
- Hacking: Gaining unauthorized access to computer systems or networks
- Cyberstalking or harassment: Threatening or intimidating someone using electronic communication

Convictions can lead to fines, incarceration and a lasting criminal record that can impact your personal and professional life. These cases often require experience in technology and a thorough understanding of state and federal laws.
Protecting Your Rights Against Federal Prosecution
When federal agencies investigate cybercrime cases, including those involving drug trafficking through digital means, they typically spend months gathering evidence before making arrests. Many do not realize they are under investigation for a federal charge until it is too late.
Since digital evidence in computer crime cases demands precise legal scrutiny, you can count on our computer crime lawyers. We stay current with evolving technology and defense strategies, identifying weaknesses in prosecution evidence and constitutional issues in how that evidence was obtained. This helps to build your strongest possible defense.
