We handle Abu Dhabi cybercrime matters involving online fraud, extortion, unauthorised access, platform defamation, and misuse of personal or business data.

Cybercrime & IT Offences
Overview
Digital evidence may change or disappear quickly, so source, timing, and context must be preserved before submission.
We examine account and device attribution and intent, then manage complaint, investigation, experts, trial, and related civil relief.
Digital evidence needs source and context, not only a screenshot.
What we cover
- Preserve messages, accounts and device data unaltered before an Abu Dhabi report.
- Link digital evidence to identity, time and intent beyond a lone screenshot.
- Follow fraud, extortion and intrusion through police, prosecution and experts.
- Coordinate criminal defence with recovery or compensation relief.

Frequently asked questions
What are the main types of cybercrime in the UAE?
They commonly include online fraud, digital extortion, hacking and intrusion, privacy and data breaches, and misuse of technology to harm reputation or funds. The final classification follows the facts and applicable federal legislation; we define the legal characterisation after reviewing the digital evidence.
How is digital extortion proved before the court?
By preserving messages, links, screenshots and account logs without deletion or alteration, linking them to the perpetrator or the account used, and proving the threat and demand elements. We coordinate evidence with investigators and build the complaint or defence on a clear digital proof chain.
Can a judgment in an IT crime case be appealed?
Yes, within the statutory time limits and grounds for appeal or cassation depending on the level of judgment. We assess the conviction or acquittal evidence, the integrity of digital procedure, and the impact of the judgment before setting the appeal path.
What are the legal penalties for electronic hacking?
They vary by the nature of the intrusion, the harm caused, the type of data or systems targeted, and the applicable federal provision — and may include fines, imprisonment or heavier penalties when aggravating factors apply. After assessing the facts we outline the likely penalty frame without guaranteeing a specific outcome.
