Abstract
At the current stage of socio-economic development, the problem of cybercrime has become one of the most acute and relevant issues. While recognizing its indisputable importance in application-oriented terms, it is impossible to ignore its fundamental scientific and theoretical complexity. To a large extent, this is due to the vagueness and uncertainty of the fundamental terminological foundations of the concept. Additional sophistication and complexity of this issue is due to the unique peculiarities of the legal regulation mechanisms in the field of innovation and digital information technologies. The cyber economy and data economy are characterized by increased volatility (hypervolatility) and an extremely short retrospective. Therefore, the legal norms characterized by a precedent nature are either ineffective or simply inapplicable. This article formulates and substantiates the argument of the need for a proactive approach focused not on the retrospective that concerns past violations, but taking into account the objective trends in the development of the cyber sphere (new information technologies).
