Defending the Accused in Hacking Cases

We defend the accused in hacking and unauthorized access cases, through precise review of presented digital evidence and how legally it was collected, since any digital evidence gathered without a valid judicial warrant could be challengeable in its legality.

Representing Victims of Hacking and Online Fraud

We help victims of hacking or online fraud file a formal documented report, guiding them to preserve digital evidence intact without intervention that could corrupt it, a critical step for the success of any subsequent perpetrator pursuit.

Online Financial Fraud and Phishing

Financial fraud cases through phishing sites or messages are widespread, and we help victims act quickly with the bank to try recovering the stolen amount, alongside a criminal report against the party responsible for the fraud.

Defamation and Harmful Content on Social Media

Publishing defamatory or offensive content through social media platforms constitutes a cybercrime, and we help affected parties document this content and file a formal report, requesting its removal from the platform alongside the criminal action.

Cybercrime for Commercial Businesses

Commercial businesses face special risks such as their systems being hacked or their sensitive commercial data being stolen, and we help them handle these incidents quickly, from formal reporting to assessing potential liability toward customers affected by leaked data.

Protecting Digital Evidence and Its Chain of Custody

The success of any cybercrime case, whether defense or prosecution, heavily depends on the integrity of the digital evidence chain of custody from the moment of discovery through to court presentation. We help clients precisely document this chain to avoid any challenge to the evidence's credibility.

Unauthorized Access by Former Employees

A recurring situation is a former employee accessing their previous employer's systems without authorization after their employment ends, and we help businesses handle these cases, from establishing unauthorized access to assessing the resulting damage.

Online Extortion and Threats to Publish Private Content

The crime of online extortion, such as threatening to publish private photos or content in exchange for money or other demands, is among the most psychologically damaging cybercrimes for victims. We help victims handle this threat with complete confidentiality and speed, documenting all communication with the perpetrator as evidence.

Protecting Startups From Digital Intellectual Property Theft

Technology startups are especially exposed to risks of their source code or user data being stolen, and we help them establish preventive security and legal procedures, alongside acting quickly when any actual breach incident occurs.
