Characteristics of Illicit Access to Data and Crimes against Information Systems in Hungary between 2013 and 2021

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to present the results of the research carried out by the National Institute of Criminology on the implementation of the Criminal Code. Chapter XLIII of the Criminal Procedure Code was conducted by the National Institute of Criminology.
Methodology: The study was conducted using the methodology of data collection, data analysis, criminal file analysis.
Findings: The domestic regulatory environment adequately covers a wide range of cyber-attacks. Hungarian characteristics can be seen in the broader perspective of current international and European developments in cyber security and cybercrime. The data show a steady but not uniform increase in the number of reports of such crimes, as more and more people use various information systems in their daily lives, while neglecting, in whole or in part, measures to ensure their safe use. The conclusion of the national survey is that there are several types of offences which are basically well defined. It may be a challenge for law enforcement to keep track of new types of offences and to classify individual offences.
Value: Conclusions and recommendations on the specifics of the offences covered by Chapter XLIII of the BPC; the (new) Criminal Code since its entry into force, there has been no research of this scope and content on the topic, including criminal document analysis, in Hungary.
