| Sumario: | The COVID-19 pandemic made both individuals and the whole society extremely vulnerable in all respects. Technology has become even more important in both our working and personal lives. The social distancing made significant consequences in developing different types of cyber criminality, because it made possible for the perpetrators to become invisible during the constant harassing their victims and to turn over current vulnerability of the society in general to their own advantage. Crime and violence have shifted from real life to cyberspace, leaving visible consequences in our reality as well. This chapter will present new types of cyber criminality, as well as some new forms of classic types of crime, the occurrence of which was, directly or indirectly, conditioned by the pandemic and the new way of life imposed on us all around the world. Also, practical recommendations will be given about the possibilities of avoiding possible victimization, which occurs as a secondary victimization due to a pandemic. |
