With the proliferation and increase in cybercrimes faced by internet users in professional and personal transactions, and the increasing reliance on electronic data, it is necessary to develop a cybersecurity system at several levels. This information component has led to a change in the frequency and nature of cybercrimes committed.
The world has recently witnessed profound transformations at all economic, social, and cultural levels, particularly technologically. Societies have transformed from consumer societies to industrial societies to cyber-based societies, thanks to the rapid, low-cost, highly accurate, and highly profitable digital services provided by modern technology. Despite the positives of this technology, it has also posed a concern for every society, with its recognition of a number of negatives, the most important of which is what is known as cybercrime.
Given the specificity of these crimes—they transcend geography and do not discriminate between one society and another—Algeria is also among the countries that have witnessed a significant increase in the rate of these crimes in recent years. This has prompted Algerian legislators to enact legislation to combat cybercrime.
