Letizia Giorgianni, a member of the Fdi party, has proposed an amendment to the Cybersecurity Bill that includes the specific crime of ‘online fraud’ in order to combat computer crimes and ensure greater security in the e-commerce sector. This rule aims to deter individuals from engaging in online fraud by providing aggravating circumstances for those who commit crimes through sites and IT platforms.
Under this rule, individuals who engage in online fraud will face severe consequences if caught. The mandatory confiscation of IT tools like computers, mobile phones, and tablets will be implemented, as well as the seizure of assets owned by fraudsters to compensate victims of crimes. These measures are aimed at punishing those responsible for cybercrimes and providing restitution to those who have been victimized.
The inclusion of online fraud as a specific crime in legislation is a significant step towards improving cybersecurity and protecting consumers in the e-commerce sector. It sends a clear message that these types of crimes will not be tolerated and that those responsible will face serious consequences for their actions.
