Abstract

This scientific initiation article will bring up current and very relevant questions about the effects suffered in the virtual world after the announcement of a pandemic, with regard to the growing number of crimes committed by virtual means, considering that the use of the internet for practically any and all daily activities became mandatory. We will show the activities that needed to adapt to the new reality, as well as the increase in cybercrime that came to affect, in particular, those whose expertise and technological knowledge do not match reality. We will also talk about the victims of these crimes and conclude with a cybersecurity protocol which can be applied to minimize risks and hinder the actions of opportunistic offenders.
