Presentation
The rise of the Internet has unquestionably accelerated and facilitated access to and exchange of information. This dazzling success in communication has encouraged the emergence of new criminal threats. These threats pose considerable risks for businesses, public administrations and private individuals. The fight against cybercrime has become a major global challenge due to the international dimension of this new and often organized crime.
Cybercrime is evolving daily, bringing with it new forms of risk and techniques for circumventing the law, which the law must take into account and adapt to.
