Salt Lake City Internet Crime Lawyer
Most usually classified as a white collar crime, an internet crime refers to any criminal activity that involves both a computer and a network. Due to the far-reach of these types of crimes, they can threaten the national security and often cross over state lines - meaning that they are typically tried as federal crimes, which means that these are crimes that are specifically investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In fact, the FBI has a specific focus on these types of crime and considers defending against cyber crimes to be one of its first and foremost priorities.
