Honolulu Cyber Crimes Lawyer

In Hawaii, as technology progresses, computer crimes or Cyber-crimes are an ever-expanding area of criminal law. Computer crimes are broad and can include crimes such as hacking and cyberstalking, to sex crimes such as online solicitation, and child pornography. Because this is a relatively new area of crime, the term “cybercrimes” did not even exist just a few decades ago.

“Overall, cybercrimes, which include both attacks and digital fraud, are at a six-year high. Last year, over 300,000 people in the U.S. fell victim to such crimes, according to Comparitech’s analysis of data from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center annual report, and losses topped $1.2 billion.” In 2017 there were 1.923 victims of cybercrimes in Hawaii at a cost of $3,368,323 or $1,751.6 per victim.

But this is just one of many areas of computer crimes. Computer crimes can encompass a wide range of crimes from monetary crimes to sexual crimes. Some of these crimes may include, but are not limited to:

  • Hacking
  • Copyright violation
  • Cyberbully or Cyberstalking
  • Cyber terrorism
  • Cybersquatting
  • Software piracy
  • Phishing
  • Identity theft
  • Spamming
  • Creating Malware
  • Credit card fraud
  • Wiretapping
  • Fraud
  • Sexting
  • Online solicitation
  • Child pornography

Cybersex crimes are one of the many ways someone may find themselves in legal trouble. Many innocent people find themselves facing sex crime charges by simply clicking on a link accidentally and end up on a website known to have child pornography images. In many cases, law enforcement will monitor a website known to have these types of images so they can collect the IP addresses of people visiting the website. These people are then charged with very serious computer sex crimes that could land them in prison for many years.

These types of crimes can be classified as either a misdemeanor or a felony. But regardless of what type of internet crime you have been charged with, law enforcement is cracking down on all types of computer-related crimes. Cybercrime charges should not be taken lightly because they can result in severe penalties, including prison if convicted. Law enforcement is known to aggressively pursue cybercrimes, especially sex crimes.

I had a situation of someone making an accusation involving me with " displaying " a hand gun. I called AOR and within minutes a attorney called and I explained to him the situation, he did an excellent job of walking me through on what to say and not do with the police. At the end no arrest was made and the complaint dismissed. The comfort of having quick access to a attorney made all the difference. Extremely glad I joined AOR.

After consideration of all of the offered self defense options out there, AOR is undeniably the best of them. The process was quick and efficent to get signed up with them and their customer service is second to none. I had to deal with Stacy Peterson to get my account in order due to mulitple locations of residence. She was very responsive and thorough. In this day and age it is refreshing to do business with such a company and I hope that I never have to use it.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review, Timothy. We’re honored you chose AOR after carefully evaluating your options. It’s great to hear that Stacy was able to assist you with responsiveness and attention to detail. Providing a smooth experience and strong support is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your trust and your kind words.
