OJEDA-PEREZ, Jorge Eliécer; RINCON-RODRIGUEZ, Fernando; ARIAS-FLOREZ, Miguel Eugenio  and  DAZA-MARTINEZ, Libardo Alberto. Computer crime and current legislation in Colombia. Cuad. Contab. [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.28, pp.41-66. ISSN 0123-1472.

This article describes and analyses the evolution and conceptual framework of computer crime raised by different national and international writers, and establishes the connection with the recent Law 1273/2009, whereby Colombian law is equated with that of other countries in terms of the legislation on cybercrime, which has been violating various fields of personal, business and institutional relationships and communications. Cyber-crime, as a trend that affects not only technology but also economics, politics and society, must be acknowledged, evaluated and faced. That is the reason why the analysis of the norm, its contribution and extent can grant additional elements of judgment to understand the reality of our organizations and view their policies and strategies in light of the same rules and global standards on computer security.

Keywords : Computer security; computer crime; cybercrime; information systems; legal environment; Computer Science Security; Computer Crimes; Information Systems.
