Problems of countering cybercrime: theory and practice questions

Introduction: Cybercrime is a special phenomenon of modern society. Detection, documentation and detection of offences committed with the use of digital technologies is the result of complex and comprehensive work by all the authorities of the Russian Federation, carried out in co-operation with organisations with different forms of ownership. The decision taken by the country's leadership to create a specialised unit to combat the unlawful use of information and communication technologies is intended to address many of the problems associated with the high level of cybercrime in Russia. A wide range of problems is caused not only by the complex mechanism of committing cybercrime, but also by the existing gaps in the legal regulation of legal relations related to ensuring the safety of people's personal data, as well as the use by criminals of many available means of anonymising individuals.
