Computer crimes at the international and national level have increased significantly during and after the pandemic, such is the case that the reports of newspapers, social networks and television news in Ecuador mention that the most common cases of this type are identity theft, falsification of documents, fraudulent appropriation by electronic means,  non-consensual harassment of a computer system, sexual contact with minors, attacks on the integrity of computer systems, illegal interception of data, electronic transfer without consent and illegal disclosure of data. The main objective of this study is to publicize the techniques used by cybercriminals in Ecuador, socialize the penalty and suggestions to avoid being a victim of this type of crime. To culminate with the process, the Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) methodology was used, where it allowed to start with the definition of the search, then with the execution of the search and ending with the discussion and results. As a result, answers to the specific research questions (PIs1, PIs2, PIs3, PIs4 and PIs5) were generated, being successful in the systematic review. In conclusion, it is suggested to the government and public and private institutions to promote training where the risks and types of computer crimes are socialized, regulations that regulate these criminal acts in relation to technology and advice to protect themselves and be at the forefront of cybercriminals.
