Abstract

With the development of modern technologies, cybercrimes have taken on an advanced character, and electronic penetration is carried out through modern technologies themselves, especially attacks targeting state institutions, where the perpetrators of the crime of hacking rely on the features of modern technologies to commit the crime of penetration, which constitutes cyber-attacks on information systems. Therefore, the mere entry into the computer system does not constitute an illegal act, but this access derives its illegality; from the fact that it is unauthorized, and unauthorized access to the computer is achieved by accessing the information and data stored inside the computer system without the consent of the administrator of the system, or in other words, misuse of the computer and its system by an unauthorized person to use and access it to access the data and information stored inside it. The research problem revolves around the following question: How effective are the rules of criminalization and punishment for the crime of cyber penetration of the information systems of state institutions? The importance of the research from a scientific point of view is that it shows the position of the UAE legislator in terms of criminalization and punishment in the crime of cyber penetration of the information systems of state institutions in accordance with Federal Decree Law No. (34) of 2021. At the end of the research, we found that the penetration and the subsequent electronic crimes, can only be done through this network, as the information recorded in the private computer, which is not connected to the Internet, cannot be penetrated. Among the recommendations of the research, the researcher calls on the UAE legislator to allocate a legal article in the Law of Rumors and Cybercrimes that criminalizes the use of hacking systems in committing crime.
