Phishing y su sanción en el sistema jurídico ecuatoriano.

Abstract

The evolution of technology in Ecuador has been gradual over the years. In recent years, the country has made efforts to improve technological infrastructure and encourage the development of new technological industries. One of them has been to implement projects to improve internet connectivity, especially in rural areas. Thus, the government has also implemented initiatives to improve the internet infrastructure to foster technological development in the country. However, there are still significant challenges such as combating cybercrime. Computer crimes are those people who use technology to commit illegal activities and it is considered to be a global problem where laws must be constantly updated as technology is becoming more and more innovative due to the demand. In this research paper, we will analyze phishing, one of the most common computer crimes worldwide. We will examine how we can prevent it and if the laws typified in the Ecuadorian law really punish those who commit this crime.
