What this law does
Article 232 punishes, with three to five years' imprisonment, a person who destroys, damages, deletes, deteriorates, alters, suspends, obstructs, causes malfunction or unwanted behaviour of, or suppresses computer data, e-mail messages, or an information, telematic, or telecommunications processing system or its logical components.
The same penalty reaches designing, developing, programming, acquiring, sending, introducing, executing, selling, or distributing malicious software or programs meant to cause those effects, and destroying or altering, without authorization, the technological infrastructure needed to transmit, receive, or process information. The penalty rises to five to seven years where the target is infrastructure for a public service or linked to public safety.
