Protect Your Rights with an Experienced Phishing Defense Attorney in New Jersey
Phishing is a grave offense that occurs when fraudsters use electronic means to deceive unsuspecting individuals into revealing their sensitive information, leading to theft or extortion. If accused of committing this crime, you could face severe charges at the state or federal level. However, you do not have to face these charges alone – The Law Offices of Todd Spodek have highly experienced criminal defense attorneys who will stand by your side and defend your rights.
Understanding Phishing
Phishing is a type of computer scam where criminals use electronic communication such as email, phone calls, or text messages to defraud innocent victims. The perpetrator behind this crime tricks the victim into giving out sensitive information, such as social security numbers or bank account details. Typically, scammers disguise phishing emails as messages from reputable companies such as Microsoft or Amazon. They create these emails in such a way that they appear legitimate, tricking the recipient into opening attachments containing malware that damages their computer systems.
Penalties for Phishing Crimes
In New Jersey, phishing falls under the Computer Crime Code (2C:20-25), which makes it illegal to acquire personal identifying material from someone’s computer without authorization. If found guilty of such a crime, you will be charged based on the severity of your offense.
Third-degree offenses carry a 3-5 year prison sentence and up to $15k fine for unauthorized access or copying with unauthorized intent. Additionally:
– Medical or governmental records: up to $150k fine and 5-10 years imprisonment for second-degree offenses.
– Public services (e.g., transportation or electricity): up to $200k fine and 10-20 years in prison.
As proficient criminal defense attorneys, we know how complex these allegations can be. Prosecutors must prove beyond any reasonable doubt that you had the knowledge and capacity to commit phishing purposely; thus accusing someone unfairly is no minor issue.
