crime definitions --- I am not sure if the current definitions of crimes in national criminal laws could be enough to encompass cybercrimes, because at the end of the day frauds, robbery, sabotage, terrorist attacks and so on are crimes already established in the laws, which could happen in the real or the cyberworld. For example in Mexico, the laws applicable to cybercrimes are the federal and local criminal laws plus the federal law on personal data protection. Maybe the specificity of cybercrimes will be more in the instrumental aspect (tools employed) or the subjective aspects such as the intentions, premeditation or technical preparedness to commit the crimes?
