Computer scams represent the majority of computer crimes, with an increase of 455% in the last six years
MADRID, 22 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -
Cybercrime continues to increase annually by recording an increase of 89% compared to 2019, the last year before the Covid-19 pandemic. Computer crimes represent 12.5% of all criminal offenses, according to the latest Crime Balance of the Ministry of the Interior, up to September 2022.
The data will be slightly higher at the end of the year because until December the crimes computed by Ertzaintza and Mossos d'Esquadra are not included in the statistics. In the 'Report on cybercrime in Spain 2021', consulted by Europa Press, there was already evidence of this increase: it represented 15.6% compared to 5.7% in 2017.
Computer scams are the ones that encompass the largest number of criminal offenses. In 2021, a total of 305,477 computer crimes were registered, of which 87.4% corresponded to computer fraud (scams). "In just six years, known computer scams grew by 455%," according to Interior, which has compared the data from 2016 with 2022.
5.7% of cybercrimes in 2021 were due to threats and coercion, while computer forgery represents 3.4% and illegal access and interception 1.7%.
Below one percent are cybercrimes for data interference (0.7%), against honor (0.5%), sexual crimes (0.5%) and against intellectual property (0.04%).
Interior referred in this 2021 report to the forecasts of the European institutions warning that these cybercrimes "are becoming more sophisticated" and that the trend will worsen in the future, since it is expected that 22.3 billion devices worldwide are interconnected in 2024. 12.5% OF CRIME IN 2022
In its balance up to September 2022, Interior divides the 1.7 million criminal offenses registered between conventional crime and cybercrime: conventional crime accounts for 87.5% of the cases, which represents a drop of 0.8% compared to 2019.
Crimes against property (indicators of robberies, thefts and theft of vehicles) represent 42% of this conventional crime, decreasing as a whole by 10.2%.
Cybercrime, for its part, represents the remaining 12.5% of criminal offenses, recording an increase of 89.3% over 2019 --without data yet from Ertzaintza and Mossos--.
Within cybercrime, computer fraud represented 87.9% and 11% of all crime registered in September. Globally, it represents an increase of 96.6% over the same period in 2019.
