Los delitos informáticos y los vacíos legales que afectan a los ciudadanos.

Abstract

The Ecuadorian legal system contains a broad regulatory framework through which the legal protection of people is guaranteed. In this context, simultaneously there are also a series of regulatory gaps and contrapositions because the continuous legal advances require strengthening efforts in order to keep up with social and technological evolution. Thus, technological development brings with it a new criminal trend, which is not fully typified due to the difficulty involved in regulating it as it transcends borders. For this reason, the objective of this research work has been "to develop a critical legal essay in evidence of the existing legal gaps in the Ecuadorian legal system and that are related to computer crimes that currently affect citizens." For this purpose, there is a precise bibliographic, doctrinal and legal support, which within a qualitative approach has become the main support for the preparation of this work. Finally, after exposing the current problems that derive from the exposed legal gaps, the social and normative reality is contrasted to later propose possible solutions.
