 By means of the proposed objective; to visualize the main characteristics and methods of computer crime, based on the global fight against COVID-19, we intend to demonstrate in this research, that the greater the implementation of technologies in homes, companies or commercial sectors, the greater the opportunities for cybercrime. It is important to highlight that we collected information from recognized websites of public and private entities that are dedicated to data on digital transformation; implementation of technologies; connectivity index; user skills and abilities when navigating cyberspace; on the other hand, they document the most effective and continuous cyber-attacks in recent years, and their main sectors of interest.

Finally, we focus on predicting the degree of truth of the hypothesis, using an experimental methodology from what has already been described and explained; therefore, by means of statistical analysis we clearly present the object of study and techniques visualized in the research process; besides focusing the discussion on the justification objectively in the coincidences of the results and project them to future works focused on the commission of computer crimes; more specifically, computer crime or delinquency, where ICT are the means by which attack vectors are launched.
