Cybercrime defense involves investigating, analyzing, and responding to allegations involving illegal activities committed through computers or networks. At Southern Recon Agency, we help attorneys and clients:
Cybercrime is any illegal activity that involves a computer, network, or digital device. That includes everything from stealing someone’s identity to hacking into a business server, or even sending threatening messages online.
As the FBI defines cybercrime, it covers a wide range of offenses, such as:
These are criminal charges. And whether you’re a victim or wrongfully accused, the fallout can be serious: damaged reputations, lost jobs, financial ruin, and in many cases, jail time.
At Southern Recon Agency, we work on both sides of the equation. We support clients facing charges and help uncover the facts behind the screen.

Cybercrime comes in many forms, and it’s evolving fast. Here are some of the most common types of digital offenses we investigate and defend:
This involves gaining access to a system, device, or network without permission. It can range from guessing someone’s password, bypassing software protections, using stolen credentials, to exploiting security flaws in the company infrastructure.
Breaking into someone’s account, system, or private data without permission is illegal, even if no damage is done. In many cases, it’s charged as a felony.
Phishing scams trick victims into revealing personal or financial information. These often look like real messages from banks, employers, or even government agencies.
One high-profile example occurred during the 2018 World Cup, when scammers sent out fake emails offering free trips to Moscow. Fans who clicked the links unknowingly handed over their personal data.
Malware is software designed to steal, spy, or destroy data. Ransomware is even more aggressive. It locks your data and demands payment to release it.
These attacks often target businesses, law firms, and hospitals where downtime is costly.
Online threats, repeated messages, tracking apps, or impersonation all fall under this category. These offenses often cross into real-world consequences, especially in domestic or workplace situations.
When someone uses your personal information, like your Social Security number or bank details, to impersonate you or commit fraud, it’s identity theft. We provide full identity theft investigation services to trace and stop the damage.
These attacks flood a system or website with traffic, crashing it and rendering it unusable. DDoS attacks are often used against businesses, government entities, or competitors during disputes.
False accusations, revenge posts, and threats to release private information unless demands are met—these are serious offenses that combine reputational damage with legal liability.
Copying, distributing, or selling protected work without authorization, whether software, trademarks, or creative content, is a federal offense. We handle intellectual property theft investigations to trace the source and support legal action.
The effects of cybercrime are far-reaching and often devastating.
For businesses, it can mean:
For individuals, the stakes are just as high. A single accusation, whether true or not, can:
Even when the evidence is weak or misunderstood, a cybercrime charge can follow you for years. And in many cases, innocent people are left fighting to clear their name while the real culprit disappears behind layers of digital anonymity.
That’s why it’s critical to have a professional team that understands how digital evidence works: how to collect it, challenge it, and present it in court.
Whether you’re building a defense or cleaning up after an attack, Southern Recon Agency is here to help protect what matters.
If you believe you’ve been targeted by a cybercrime, time matters. Acting quickly can help prevent further damage and preserve critical digital evidence.
For U.S. Citizens:
Report the incident to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) immediately. This is the FBI’s official reporting platform for cyber-related crimes.
You’ll need to provide:
Need a second opinion or private investigation? Our team can assist with independent analysis, help you understand your options, and support legal action. Contact us here or call 844-307-7771 for confidential support.
Create complex, unique passwords for each account. Avoid names, birthdates, or repeated patterns. Don’t reuse passwords. Ever.
Add an extra layer of protection. Even if your password is compromised, two-factor authentication helps keep your accounts secure.
Install antivirus software and firewalls. Keep your operating systems, browsers, and apps updated to patch security flaws.
Be cautious with email and text links. If something feels off, it probably is. Don’t download attachments from unknown sources.
