Cybercrimes in brazilian legislation: current reflections of law n 14.811/24

Abstract

With the advent of technology, there has been a significant change in the way humans interact and live together, since globalization means that there are no longer any geographical restrictions, making it possible for emotional ties to remain firm and solid, even when continents and nations are far apart. Although humanity has made rapid progress with the help of technology, new types of crime have also emerged, but adapted to the digital environment, now known as cybercrime. Cybercrime consists of unlawful conduct that is carried out using the means of technology and information to commit the crime. In this context, with the advance in the modernization of the means of communication, it has been possible to observe an exponential increase in the number of users who have entered cyberspace, and as a direct consequence, extreme social vulnerability in the face of the lack of legislative regulation on the networks.
