Crime in the Sphere of Information and Communication Technologies as a Problem of the Information Society

The purpose of this study was to study the impact of globalization and informatization on crime in cyberspace. In the era of globalization and digitalization, all data, personal information and most of the money of people are on electronic custodians, smart phones and personal computers. However, such a sharp transformation of society has a big minus, which was expressed in the development of such a negative phenomenon as cybercrime. Cybercrime is not yet a fully understood phenomenon and the methodology for combating it has not yet been fully formed. Cybercrimes include crimes committed by using a personal computer to create virus programs, and the commission of computer attacks or theft of personal information and funds of individuals and legal entities. The development of information and communication technologies is the root cause of the emergence of cybercriminals. The weakness of the law enforcement system in the fight against cybercrime is due to the fact that they did not encounter a large number of hacker attacks and most of them were carried out by incompetent hackers who made banal mistakes and it was easy to track them down and bring them to justice, unlike their Western counterparts, who I had to fight with top-level specialists who left no traces and worked from the shadows. It is almost impossible to track them down and catch them. Thus, it becomes clear that our law enforcement agencies do not have, as such, experience in dealing with cybercriminals, as a result of which they have the opportunity to commit crimes and go unpunished in most cases. To prevent such situations in the future, it is necessary to prepare future police officers to fight cybercrime. To do this, in the process of training, they must study the experience of Western intelligence agencies in countering cybercrime. As a result, we will get specialists in the fight against cybercrime at the headquarters, whose task will be to suppress and prevent the commission of cybercrimes.
