المعلوماتية وجرائم الإعتداء على الأموال

Abstract

Information crime emerged as a result of the development of information and communication technology and the digital information revolution. It evolved from the narrow concept related to computer crimes to crimes associated with the automated processing of data. This is considering that computers serve as an environment for committing these crimes, a means for executing them, or a target in the virtual electronic environment that gave rise to new crimes. The common denominator among these crimes is the use of technology and information, such as crimes involving the violation of informational property.

Undoubtedly, these crimes differ in their content and essence. Each crime reflects its own nature, methods, and unique approaches. They take on various forms depending on their type, the target, the perpetrator, and the level of execution.

The patterns of information crime, the characteristics of the criminal, and the criminal act itself vary, highlighting the gap between the features of the physical reality of traditional criminal acts and the virtual reality of newly developed digital criminal acts.

Algeria, like other countries around the world, is witnessing an increasing growth in the rates of information crime, as evidenced by recorded statistics. These statistics reflect the reality of information crime and its relationship with the digital space, which imposes new and intertwined dimensions and challenges at multiple levels.
