Cybercrime

Cybercrime is growing every year in Spain and now accounts for one in every five offences recorded by the security forces. Being the victim of an online scam, identity theft or unauthorised access to your systems or accounts calls for a swift, specialised legal response, both to file a criminal complaint and to recover any financial losses.

What do we offer at Gómez Barroso Abogados?

We analyse each case individually: how the attack took place, what technical evidence exists, and which criminal and civil avenues will most effectively defend your interests.

We handle communications with banks, insurers and any platforms involved, as well as filing the complaint with the relevant authorities (National Police, Civil Guard or the courts).

We coordinate the collection of digital evidence and expert reports, and provide full legal direction of the proceedings, keeping you informed at every stage.

What are the most common cybercrimes?

The attacker intercepts communications between the client and their bank, company or supplier (for example, by spoofing an email or a website) in order to redirect payments or transfers without the victim noticing until the damage is already done.

Emails, text messages or calls impersonating trusted banks or companies in order to obtain passwords, banking details or access codes — today the most common gateway into online fraud.

Unauthorised use of personal data to take out services or open accounts in the victim's name, or improper access to emails, social media or bank accounts without consent.
