Abstract
This article proposes a concept of cybercrime and determines its compatibility with the Chilean legal system, considering its recently enacted Cybercrime Law (2022). I argue in this article that cybercrime is one in which information technology is essential in the commission of unlawful acts, according to its legal definition. It is essential because the offense directly involves the execution of a computer procedure which, as such, can only be verified using a computer device; or the law has defined the conduct by restricting it to certain modes of commission which can only be carried out by computerized means.
