Summary: This paper approaches cybercrime from the victim perspective and analyses the matter regarding the fundamental criminal principles of harm and proportionality.Precisely, it is since cybercrime presents an elevated level of harm compared to traditional criminality and, as a result, the number of victims in each criminal action can be easily increased.Consequently, a conscious review of the principle of proportionality between the caused harm and the penal response in each case becomes compulsory, questioning if the current criminal legislation gives an adequate response.For this aim, the paper analyses the way the Spanish Criminal Code manages the issue, with both general articles (such as the figure of continuous crimes or aggravations) or concrete criminal figures.Received: 10.10.2019Accepted: 02.02.2020Published online: 03.07.2020
