Adaptación normativa frente a los delitos informáticos en Colombia

Abstract

There is no doubt that the advancement of technology has made a positive foray into Colombian society because it has brought us closer to other parts of the world, it also allows us to optimize time, avoiding long lines or leaving our homes to carry out certain transactions. But if this issue is carefully considered, it can be seen that reprehensible behaviors have 4 arisen by our criminal legal system, same that often go unpunished due to the ease with which the actors have to cover up their illegal maneuvers behind a computer. Cyber criminals have found an easy way to execute illegal behavior, scams, thefts, personal data breaches, sexual crimes and others. It should be noted that with the current situation in the country, due to the disease known as Covid-19, which forced the Colombian population to remain in mandatory confinement, the commission of this type of crime has increased. It has been necessary to carry out banking transactions from our homes, which has facilitated the registration of some sensitive data on the network that facilitates the illegal actions of unscrupulous people. Our criminal legal order from time ago saw the need to typify this type of behavior. It created a regulatory framework aimed primarily at protecting information, data, but also seeks to sanction those who use technologies to commit crimes. These considerations support my proposal to inquire into the legislation implemented by Colombia against computer crimes has been sufficient to protect those who browse through a technological means
