The United Arab Emirates (UAE) maintains a stringent stance on combating cybercrime, evident through its continuously evolving legal framework designed to encompass a wide range of potential offenses and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of technology. The most recent modification to the Federal law governing cybercrime in the UAE occurred in 2018, resulting in harsher penalties for offenders and the introduction of new measures aimed at preventing and prohibiting the misuse of information technology within the country. Under this updated legislation, UAE courts now possess the authority to levy substantial fines and issue deportation orders for both individuals and legal entities found guilty of cybercrime in Dubai and across the UAE.

The amended Cybercrime Law elaborates on various electronic criminal activities and incidents that could jeopardize public safety, facilitate further criminal acts, promote terrorism, or support the formation of illegal organizations. While the initial Cybercrime Law, established in 2012, already contained significant sanctions, the subsequent amendments seek to address the adverse consequences of technology misuse, including unauthorized access to illicit websites, defamation or libel on social media platforms, online financial fraud, and various other online criminal activities that fall under the purview of cybercrime in Dubai.
