Abstract

The present study starts from an analysis of the changes in society, due to the development of technologies capable of connecting several people from different places, in a single worldwide computer network. Thus, the internet has proven to be an essential tool for the development of human beings, since barriers have been broken due to the great ease that the digital environment has provided us, being possible in just a few clicks to send messages to people on the other side of the world, as well as to transfer money over the internet, and among several other changes that the digital environment has provided us with. Because it is an open and diverse environment, it has contributed to the development of society. However, there are people who use this quality of the digital environment to commit crimes. In this sense, the paper will focus on the development of the cybernetic environment until the development of the practical conducts on the Internet, and will also show the necessary means for a better security on the digital environment. Thus, it is necessary to improve certain points of our legal system that deal with cybercrime, so that they are a little more severe, with the purpose of inhibiting certain criminal conducts that are committed in the digital environment, so that the penalty fits the damage caused to the victim, since, in certain cases, the damage caused in the digital environment is greater than in the physical world.
