These individuals have been called hackers for their ease to intervene the information systems of people who house information in the Internet network without any personal data protection mechanism.
The purpose of this investigation is to identify what these individuals use to appropriate information as well as know the prevention activities that the institutions in charge of security in cyber crimes are benefiting for the citizenship.
In the same way, determine the negative impact it generates on the users of the Internet Net.
Introduction
The computer crime known as identity theft is an illegal activity that was generated with the appearance of the Internet in society, at first this technology was reserved for military use, with the openness to the entire population it was used by individuals to profit fromThe information they could obtain on the network without any data protection mechanism, affecting the reputation, economic and financial stability of people and companies as well as attempt against the national security of countries that at some time their Internet services were seenaffected by individuals who are dedicated to the theft of information such as hackers.

Present some type of law initiative in order to press the authorities in charge of the prevention of cyber crimes alert the users of the Internet network through forums.
Problematization and contextualization
Identity theft is a computer crime that has developed rapidly in the network and manifests itself in different ways to the detriment of society that makes use of the Internet to carry out its banking, labor activities, the sending and reception of personal data, situation, situationthat the so -called hackers take the opportunity to intervene networks through technological mechanisms capable of extracting information for their own or groups.

The crime of identity theft is a cybercrime that continues upwards according to citizens’ perceptions, coupled with that, there are no reliable statistics that demonstrate the fact.
The National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Users of Financial Services (Condusef) in graph at 1 of the Annex can be seen that the crimes considered as cyber fraud have risen up to 36% with respect to the previous year and thatThey continue to increase without the police officers can take control of this situation.
Research method
The method to carry out the investigation into the crime of identity theft is the qualitative in order to know the circumstances and the elements used by hackers to carry out this type of illegal in the network.
Theoretical framework
Identity theft is the use that is given for illegal purposes to the personal data found on the Internet in order to obtain an economic or other benefit to the detriment of countries, people or companies.
The Federal Criminal Code in its article 211 bis states that: who reveals, disseminates or uses or uses another, information or images obtained in a private communication intervention, sanctions of six to twelve years in prison will be applied to himthree hundred to six hundred days fine.
The Criminal Code of the State of Yucatan in its article 243 Septies establishes that: commits the crime of theft of identity to which by any means, the identity of another person is attributed or grants their consent to carry out the impersonation of their identity for purposesillegal or profit to commit offensive behaviors, obtain financial resources for itself or in favor of third parties or the realization of any other crime provided for in the legal provisions.
The so -called hackers are the specialist personnel in obtaining information on the Net.
Work methodology
In this case, it consists in the collection of information on the cyber crime called identity theft and that is perpetrated by people who have access to the Internet network and who have the ease of extracting sensitive information from nations, companies and people,improperlying this information to obtain some type of benefit.
Define the object of the problem through the analysis and comparison of the information available, to give course to a line of work that leads us to the solution of the problem in this case through the qualitative method that consists of the identification of theprocedure and circumstances carried out by hackers to achieve their objective.
Scope and limitations of research
The scope of the investigation into the crime of identity theft could be that you can have contact with an individual who dedicates himself to the crime of identity theft and that he can share his illegal activities, in order to obtain first -line information.
Limitations in relation to the crime of identity theft can be for example as far as the laws in force regarding access to information without damage to third parties are allowed in order to avoid legal problems.
Goals
The purpose of the investigation into the crime of identity theft is to identify the mechanisms and the procedure carried out by the so -called hackers for the realization of this crime that is currently called cyber or cybercrime crime.
Similarly, raise awareness in the population that makes use of the Internet network in order to take their security measures around their personal data they provide, providing for theft of their data which can be used for some extortion,fraud, theft of bank accounts, among others.
Work schedule
Establish a line of work starting by collecting information on the cyber crime called identity theft, illegal activity that the so -called hackers are carried out in the Internet network, establishing the start and end dates of each activity, as well as defining the object byreach at each stage of the research process to integrate the final project. (Consult Annex A2)
Alternative solutions
One of the possible solutions to the problem of identity theft at least nationally is to propose to the corresponding most effective sanction initiatives with the objective of inhibiting the criminal action of hackers.
Another possible solution alternative may be that the authorities in charge of the prevention of cyber crimes activate online forums related to the security measures that Internet network users must adopt in order to avoid being victims of cybercrime.
Conclusions
At present, the crime of identity theft have annexed a large number of cyber crimes that have evolved with the updates of information technologies, a situation that exceeds security institutions in particular to the groups in charge of the prevention ofCyber crimes.
In terms of national security, several countries have seen their technological security systems violated as hacking, where public information has been leaked to public opinion that endangers its economic and military stability.
For these reasons at the current era, forced marches are worked on technological projects on safety and protection of all information that circulates in the Internet network, so that several countries that have common interests in accordance with blocks to deal with attacksof organizations that seek to destabilize them financially and militarily.
