¹ According to the source, computer fraud offences are recorded as cybercrime. This includes the misuse of telecommunications services (until 2016 fraud with access authorizations to communication services), other computer fraud, spying and intercepting data including preparatory acts and receiving stolen data, falsifying evidentiary data, e.g., deception in legal transactions as well as data alteration/computer sabotage.
