Abstract

The present research conducted an approach to the criminal profiling of cybercriminals, based on the analysis of criminal behavior and statistics of hackers. This descriptive and explanatory analysis, carried out through interviews, surveys, and data collection from cybercrime victims, news, and laws, examined various behaviors, patterns, and traits of hackers. It was possible to conclude the lack or outdated nature of legal regulation on the subject. It is necessary to update our legislation to adapt to the technological changes that occur every day. Despite the fact that the inherent characteristics of cybercrimes involve occurrences in an intangible space, getting to know the types of individuals who commit them could help in preventing them.
