We are increasingly in the digital age, there is no doubt, however, this technical and digital evolution is leading to a greater number of crime on the networks. As you already know, a few days ago we left you a guide of good practices on how to use social networks without committing crimes, today we have to tell you a not very hopeful news, and that is Cyberattacks increased in Spain by around 130% during the past year 2016. It may seem like an irrelevant piece of information, but it shows how little developer companies care about our security.
This information is transmitted Digital Economy through a legal technique called Marisol Aldonza and that it has analyzed the possibility that we are not even taking into account the totality of the data, since apparently, many large companies choose not to report because news about a cyber attack at their service could lead to a loss of prestige or mistrust that it would end up costing you your business.
Meanwhile the Civil Guard and the National Police Corps continue to be constantly updated, counting on great specialists with the intention of protecting and intervening better and better in the face of such future situations, but which are already occurring day by day.
Since 2015, with the latest reform of the Penal Code, the cyberattack became a crime, filling an important legal vacuum that existed in this regard. However, it must be taken into account that large companies are not always subject to this type of situation, since they have strong security systems and staff specialists, once again it is small and medium-sized companies that suffer the most from cybercriminals, an easy target to attack and with much more to lose. This is the situation of computer security in Spain today.
