2015 Cybercrime Report

Description

The Report on Cybercrime in Spain for 2015 aims, among other issues, to show the criminal reality that surrounds cybercrime from different perspectives and areas. The multiplicity of computer crimes that make up the phenomenon of cybercrime has evolved year after year. In this way, for the preparation of this report, the statistical information based on crime known and recorded by the Security Forces and Corps (National Police, Civil Guard, Navarre Foral Police and different Local Police Corps) has been taken as a reference, which appears in the Statistical Crime System (SEC), as well as that from the National Center for the Protection of Critical Infrastructures (CNPIC). The content includes, in addition to statistical information broken down in different sections (facts known by criminal categories, number of arrests/imputations, territorial distribution of cybercrime, profile of the victim and of the responsible, incidents recorded by the CERTSI, incidents by community of reference and by strategic sector, etc.), an x-ray of the information society. Therefore, along with the statistical data collected in relation to this phenomenon of cybercrime, data are introduced indicating the use of technologies by Spanish society in general and in comparison with other countries in our environment. All this, based on studies and opinion surveys carried out by different bodies, not only at national level (INE), but also European (EUROSTAT). On the other hand, and from a legal point of view, the Internet has led to the emergence of new forms of criminal commission. The reform of Organic Law 10/1995, of 23 November, of the Criminal Code by Organic Laws 1 and 2/2015, created, defined and modified the criminal types that shape the field of cybercrime, such as the crimes of discovery and disclosure of secrets, computer damage, child pornography, crimes against intellectual property, terrorism and hate crimes. This legislative development has occurred, in addition to the emergence of new criminal forms, by the transposition of European Directive 2013/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 August 2013 on attacks against information systems, which replaced Council Framework Decision 2005/222/JHA and other international standards. On the other hand, in the fight against cybercrime we find different aspects. Thus, within the European Union, the European Centre on Cybercrime (EC3) was launched on 11 January 2013. In addition, the EU Framework Programme for Innovation Research “Horizon 2020” has been adopted and the European Agenda on Security (2015-2020) has been established. Finally, the 2015 Report on Cybercrime in Spain refers to the methodology and data sources used for its elaboration, as well as explanatory notes on the concepts used throughout it.
