Types of Cybercrimes
Under Alabama law, a “cybercrime” is any offense committed by means of a computer, computer network, or electronic device with computer capabilities. This definition encompasses a wide range of criminal offenses.
Some common examples of cybercrimes include:
- Hacking
- Phishing
- Spamming
- Identity theft
- Credit card fraud
- Child pornography
- Computer trespass
- Computer tampering
- Unauthorized access to computer systems
- Creation or distribution of malware and viruses
Many of these offenses are also federal crimes, meaning they can be prosecuted in federal court. Federal cybercrime charges are extremely serious, and a conviction could lead to life in prison. Some federal cybercrimes are felonies that cannot be expunged from a criminal record.
Our team can represent clients in both state and federal court. If you have been charged with a cybercrime, our firm can fight tirelessly to protect your rights and future.
The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Crimes
Modern cybercriminals are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to commit even more sophisticated, effective crimes. They can automate attacks, making them faster and more difficult to deflect. For instance, AI-powered phishing campaigns can generate highly personalized and convincing emails, significantly increasing the likelihood of deceiving recipients. Additionally, AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to identify security vulnerabilities and predict successful attack strategies.
AI can also create intelligent malware. This software can adapt and evolve to evade detection by traditional security measures. Criminals can also use AI to conduct large-scale botnet attacks. These attacks involve vast networks of compromised devices that are co-opted to launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, overwhelming and disabling targets.
AI-driven deepfakes are another emerging threat, where criminals create realistic but fake images, audio, or videos. This false information can be used for blackmail, spreading false information, or committing fraud.
