Cybercrimes
Key contact: Sabrina Szkolnik
We have several years of experience in criminal defence and a particular interest in the digital world and its ecosystem. We have developed an expertise and in-depth knowledge of cybercrime (computer crime committed via the Internet).
We intervene in particular in the following cases:
- Ransomware: malicious program that infects the computer, blocks the system and aims to obtain a ransom payment from the victim
- Online scam: “fake president” fraud, fake international money transfer order
- Fraudulent access, hindrance, or attack on automated data processing system: denial of service attack, credential stuffing, defacing, mail bombing, viruses, malware
- Phishing: fraudulent practice that often consists of pretending to be a trusted third party in order to lure the victim into providing personal data (access accounts, passwords, bank identifiers, etc.)
- Online identity theft: use of information without the victim's consent allowing him or her to be identified (first and last name, e-mail address, photographs, etc.), often in order to obtain loans, to commit reprehensible acts or to damage his or her reputation
We also provide assistance in cases affecting more particularly individuals, such as for example:
- Cyber-harassment: harassment via the Internet (emails, social networks)
- Revenge porn: online publication of so-called pornographic content (photos, videos, sexual comments) without the victim's consent in order to take revenge (most often following a breakup)
- Online hate
- Online threats
- Child pornography
Because these cybercrime offenses are of particular nature and require digital and forensic investigation methods, we rely on a reinforced collaboration with technical and computer experts as well as professionals from the judicial world (such as bailiffs) specialized in these offenses.
