The study showed that Brazil has a law that deals with Cyber Defense Policy at the national level, in addition to a series of legal rules that aim to protect victims of cybercrimes. In addition to the penalties in the criminal sanctions, there are sanctioning measures applicable in the legal sphere, usually consisting of the payment of indemnities for moral/material damage, as well as the internet providers responsibility of taking down the pages of unwanted news and consequent moral damage. However, there’s need of a better application of the legislation, for success in assessment and punishment of committed crimes.
