The Substantive Provisions of Cybercrimes
This study examines the substantive provisions of cybercrimes by classifying them into two main categories: crimes against individuals (such as publication, defamation, slander, and infringement of personal data), and crimes against property (such as attacks on bank accounts, credit cards, digital currencies, and violations of intellectual property rights). The study aims to demonstrate the extent to which traditional criminal theories, such as the elements of publicity and criminal intent, apply to the digital environment, focusing on analyzing the elements of these crimes according to comparative legislation. The study adopted the inductive analytical and comparative methodologies. It concludes that the Yemeni legislator suffers from a clear legislative deficiency and a legal vacuum in regulating crimes related to personal data and digital currencies, which necessitates the urgent enactment of specialized legislation and the harmonization of existing texts with international standards.
