E-Crime Legal Brief: A Case Study on Talk Talk Hacking
This provides a practical tool for cybercrime investigators and judges to apply laws in e-crime cases, but it is incremental as it builds on existing legal practices without introducing new methods.
The paper addresses the lack of a universal definition for e-crime by proposing a structured legal brief framework, using the Talk Talk hacking case as an example to outline components like citation, facts, issues, reasoning, decision, and analysis.
E-crime has had various definitions for different countries and organisations. There is no universal definition of E-crime and therefore the interpretation is left to cybercrime investigators and judges to apply related crimes to within the scope where possible. E-crime legal brief should include Citation, facts of the case, issues, reasoning, decision of the judges and analysis. The analysis outlines applicable laws in e-crime, case laws relevant to the facts of the case and crime committed.
