The Criminal Code sets out many offences that may cover cybercrime including several prohibiting others from breaching a person’s privacy and accessing their information.
For instance, section 342.1(1) forbids unauthorized uses of a computer and makes hacking illegal. Section 430(1.1), the “mischief to data” section, covers situations in which someone damages or destroys data without prior authorization, such as transmitting computer viruses.
