CYBERCRIME IN RUSSIA: CURRENT CHALLENGES AND GOOD PRACTICES IN COMBATING CYBERCRIME

Abstract

Globalization and the rapid development of computer and IT technologies have led to the emergence of a new type of offence — cybercrime. This concept has not yet been legislated, and there is a problem of classification of crimes committed in cyberspace. The authors offer an analysis of current state of cybercrime in Russia for the last 10 years. An overview of modern countermeasures of cybercrime in Russia and abroad is presented. Some recommendations for ensuring corporate cyber security and promising areas of research are outlined.
