Computer Crimes - What They Mean

Computer crime is a relatively new type of crime which can lead to someone being unjustly accused or overcharged for actions they did not commit. A computer crime is an illegal action where a computer is accessed without permission and data is copied and stolen or data is corrupted or wiped out completely. It is an action that must be done knowingly with intention of theft or destruction of data that causes injury to the party that has ownership of the data and computer or network. This offense is considered a white collar and theft crime.  Much fraud is involved in this type of offense, which normally leads to financial loss for the victim in some manner.

Computer crime is still evolving and is treated very seriously in California. You can be charged with a misdemeanor or felony and have fines of up to 10,000 and imprisonment for up to 3 years. The penalties depend on the seriousness of the crime committed and the injury that was done.
