What it makes you log

Logging duty

Los articulos 8, 9 y 10 tipifican la interferencia con el funcionamiento de un sistema informatico o sus datos, la alteracion o dano de datos y el dano a sistemas informaticos; no imponen deber alguno de crear, conservar, exhibir o revisar un registro. In English: articles 8, 9 and 10 define the offences of interfering with a computer system or its data, altering or damaging data, and damaging computer systems, and impose no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record. The reformed article 2 applies the Act to offences committed within or outside the national territory under the principle of universality without naming a presence or effects test, so no hook value is set.
