- Short description of contents:
- In Italy Law No. 90 of 28 June 2024 («Provisions on Strengthening National
Cybersecurity and on Cybercrime») recently intervened in the system of cyber
offences.
Despite the media emphasis on this reform - presented as a «crackdown»
on cybercrime and soon followed by Law No. 132 of 23 September 2025
(«Provisions and Delegations to the Government Concerning Artificial Intelligence
») - its substantive impact is relatively limited, primarily involving general
increases in penalties and targeted adjustments. For example, a new offence
(Article 629, paragraph 3) was introduced to address the spread of ransomware
cyber-attacks, the practical effectiveness of which will depend on future case
law. Additionally, Article 615-quinquies of the Criminal Code was repealed
and relocated among property offences (Article 635-quater.1), with the addition
of two new aggravating circumstances. Similarly, Article 640, criminalizing
fraud, was supplemented by paragraph 2-ter, applicable when the offence
is committed remotely using information or telematic tools designed to obscure
identification.
It is evident that the need for criminal protection of cybersecurity does
not arise from an artificially constructed necessity but reflects the requirement
«to secure a shared condition within the information society»
