مقاله:نحوه مجازات مجرمان سایبری

این مقاله زبان اصلی  است.  خلاصه مقاله :

Numerous research studies have highlighted the exponential growth of malware attacks

worldwide, posing a significant threat to society. Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly

merciless and show no signs of pity towards individuals or organizations. It is evident that

cyber criminals will stop at nothing to gain unauthorized access to confidential information.

To effectively combat malware attacks, strict cyber laws are necessary, and the use of malware

is punishable in many countries. However, the literature has not addressed whether these

penalties create deterrence or not. This research article has addressed this gap. In this study,

the effectiveness of criminal laws related to malware-related crimes in various jurisdictions was

analyzed using the doctrinal research methodology. The cyber laws of the USA, UK, Ethiopia,

Pakistan, and China were examined to determine whether the penalties imposed for these

crimes are appropriate given the severity of the harm caused. The study concludes that malware

penalties should take into account the creation or use of malicious code, targeting individuals or

organizations, and the magnitude of consequences, regardless of whether mens rea is present or

not.
