As you know, the introduction of information technologies in various spheres of human activity and life and the formation of an information space called cyberspace, led to the growth of this phenomenon. The objectives of the study are to analyze the causes that allowed humanity to reach the global level of information exchange, which, on the one hand, opened up new ways of development, and, on the other, gave rise to a number of problems that go beyond the capabilities of one state. Conclusions: information and communication technologies have become part of the life of modern society, any illegal interference in their activities can harm not only an individual citizen, but also the state as a whole. And, as you know, crime always keeps pace with the times, that is, the ways and means of committing crimes are constantly being improved, the list of objects of criminal attacks is expanding, and the latency of criminal attacks is increasing. Nevertheless, even illegal activity is one of the signs of the stage of development of society, and the emergence, development and spread of cybercrime and cybercrime is part of the recent history of mankind, and not a separate state. The public danger of the problem under consideration is recognized at the international level.
