It is not uncommon for naive students or interns to be taken advantage by others to committ computer fraud crimes for a business, or fraudulent organization posing as a legitimate business. When law enforcement closes in, the student or intern is the one targeted for prosecution, as the "owners" of the "company" will often have already left town leaving the student or intern holding the bag, as it is their signature left to be investigated and prosecuted.

Innocent individuals and businesses are often caught in the the crosshairs of the government while in the pursuit of computer and internet fraud offenders.

Many Internet crimes are prosecuted under the Counterfeit Access Device and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1984 (CFAA). The Act is intended to reduce hacking of computer systems as well as computer fraud and other computer crimes. The Act applies broadly to conduct committed through use of the Internet. Activities prohibited under the Act include intentionally accessing protected information from U.S. agencies or departments, intentionally damaging others’ computers, trafficking in passwords and other similar information.

If charged in Federal Court, the burden of proof for a conviction is less than that of the State. Computer and Internet fraud crimes are very detailed and require a detailed and aggressive defense strategy.

A computer fraud conviction may range from 1 to 20 year in prison, depending on the circumstances of the offense and the evidence against you. In some cases, the conviction may be awarded for each separate computer - internet fraud charge the offender is convicted of (meaning the accused may face multiple counts of computer - internet fraud charges).
