Unfortunately along with all these benefits came criminal organizations that have adapted and started to act intensively in this new territory, even taking advantage of the ease of access to potential victims, of the global reach that their attempts can take and, above all, of the difficulty of the State in protecting its citizens in this context, which demands new legislation and for the characteristic of these crimes of not being limited to borders and territories, new relationships between countries.
