INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STANDARDS FOR COMBATING FRAUD IN THE FIELD OF COMPUTER INFORMATION

Summary/Abstract: Fraud is one of the traditional crimes that are sufficiently well analyzed in doctrinal sources and at the practical level. However, the creation of the digital economy in the 21st century, the rapid development of information and communication systems and networks, and the development of the computer industry have led to the emergence of new types of crimes committed in cyberspace. As a result, new types and methods of fraud very quickly adapt to new realities, namely the realities of the Internet. In this way, fraud is gradually becoming more and more virtualized. Fraud in cyberspace has its own specifics, including its transnational nature and high level of latency. In our opinion, it is worth developing tools and mechanisms that will ensure effective criminal and legal countermeasures against fraud in cyberspace, taking into account the problems of transnational jurisdiction and the location of the thief. Currently, as a result of quarantine restrictions and the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, fraud in cyberspace has taken on a new form. Fraud in cyberspace is increasingly taking on new forms. The statistics of the Department of the Cyber Police of Ukraine show that fraud in cyberspace is increasing every year, so compared to 2021, 5,102 proceedings were opened under Article 190 fraud, for comparison, 3,065 proceedings were opened in 2020. The high latency rate of fraud in cyberspace does not fully reflect the level of crime in this segment. The main goal of our research is the analysis of international legal legislation in the field of cybercrime, and the development of recommendations on the regulation of fraud in cyberspace within the framework of national legislation. The object of our research is social relations that arose in the field of property relations and the implementation of the criminal-legal norm that regulates crime (fraud). The subject of the study is the criminal legal norms that regulate responsibility for fraud in cyberspace.
