Cyber crimes are challenging to investigate and prosecute because online offenders take advantage of legal loopholes, cross-border weaknesses in international law enforcement capabilities and jurisdictional limitations.
More specifically, cybercrime can be difficult to combat for the following reasons:
- With certain privacy laws and encryption tools in place, law enforcement may find it difficult to gain personal information about suspects in criminal investigations.
- Identity-concealing technology can also act as a barrier for law enforcement when determining the physical location of offenders and evidence.
- Legislation around criminal acts and investigative procedures varies between jurisdictions, making cross-border cybercrime investigation and prosecution particularly challenging.
- The absence of a shared legal framework across the globe can also hinder international cooperation when taking down large-scale cybercrime schemes.
- Private organisations often hold essential information on criminal infrastructures, yet there is little consensus on how this sector can help law enforcement without breaching the personal rights of their customers.
Consequently, traditional methods of recovery through law enforcement groups are very unlikely to succeed. At IFW, our cyber investigation services utilise advanced technology, proven techniques and global resources to overcome the above challenges.
-
While more and more online scammers are being arrested by law enforcement officials, it is a slow process. Many arrests tend to take place up to a year after the crime, allowing scammers to harm more victims in the interim.
Our private investigators can provide invaluable cyber investigation services to expedite evidence gathering. We will liaise with local authorities in the relevant jurisdiction to help you track down and take legal action against offenders without delay.
