Cybercrime context and facts
Cybercrime often blends technical steps with human manipulation, which is why many incidents begin with a believable message rather than a complex exploit.
Digital evidence can be fragile and distributed across devices, cloud services, and jurisdictions, making documentation and legal process central to real investigations.
