Cybercrime laws concerning the internet are relatively narrow. For example, the illegal accessing charge doesn’t require that information be obtained, just that there was access. The aggravated identity theft, in that context, is used to prosecute people who actually gain access to identifying information.
With this said, one of the common scenarios in which someone may be charged with a cybercrime is when someone allegedly illegally accesses a government network. Whether it’s a network at a government agency, at the Department of Homeland Security, at the State Department, or another government agency such as the G. A. O., that is the most common scenario where there may be an allegation of a hacking cybercrime.
