Firstly, a brief historical account of cybercrimes was carried out, its origin, main types and the process carried out during the investigation, being then demonstrated the main difficulties encountered during cybercrimes investigations. such as the use of the Mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) to obtain information located on foreign servers, access to registration data, access records, etc., and finally, some tools will be presented that can solve the difficulties encountered, such as the Budapest Convention. The issue demands a more focused look, since the crime committed in the networks does not affect a single person, but it is a crime that ends up reaching the whole society, leaving, still, the false sensation that crime really pays. The research was carried out through a bibliographical research, in order to search in the literature, the necessary bases for the best development of the chosen line of reasoning. In this sense, the information on the topic found in books, articles, periodicals, etc. Such information made it possible to better understand the problem- question.
