Aspects of modern problems of the investigation of crimes related to the elimination of digital traces and the provision of relevant evidence

The article discusses aspects of contemporary problems of investigating cybercrime related to the seizure of digital traces and the provision of relevant evidence, presents some interdisciplinary strategies for solving current problems. The purpose of the study was to review scientific views on the designated issues. The main model of the observer, which describes the point of view of forensic examination, is given. Arguments in the article are based on specific examples and refer to the established procedures. There are a huge number of unresolved issues in the process of investigating crimes based on the study of digital traces, their growth is due to the rapid development of digital technologies. Law enforcement officers often encounter procedural problems, such as getting timely access to data on encrypted devices or in the cloud. In carrying out the work, the methods of fixing facts, conditions and circumstances, put forward versions of the investigated event, observation, measurement, description, comparison, experiment, simulation, mathematics-cybernetic and heuristic methods were used. The results of the work can be used in the field of forensics in solving the tasks of forensic and operational and investigative activities in the framework of investigating computer crime and cybercrime based on the analysis of information traces of a different spectrum.
