Abstract
Relevance of the article is due to the rapid growth in Russia of mercenary crimes committed using information and telecommunication technologies. The largest share of such crimes in the structure of criminal encroachments on property falls on fraud and extortion. The article provides an original analysis of the methods of their commission, which have become most widespread on the Global Network. It is predicted that this type of cybercrime in the future may become one of the serious problems, since criminal schemes for using network Internet resources are constantly updated, and it is not possible to establish all methods.The purpose of the study is to supplement scientific knowledge of available and new ways of committing mercenary crimes using the Internet to effectively counter them. Objectives: on the basis of judicial practice, media reports, Internet sources, to identify existing and new methods of committing mercenary crimes on the Internet. Methodology. When writing the work, methods of scientific knowledge (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction), as well as statistical, documentary and formal-logical methods were used.The results of the study consist in describing the available and establishing new methods of committing crimes against property, affecting the qualitative and quantitative indicators of mercenary crime in general. A certain gap in criminological science on the problems of theft of someone else's property through fraudulent actions and extortion on the Internet has been filled. The results obtained can be used in the practical activities of law enforcement agencies.Conclusion. The socially dangerous consequences of committing cybercrimes against property are determined by their mass, huge number of victims, great damage and high latency. Rapid virtualization of all areas of society makes it possible to predict a consistent increase in encroachments against property on the Internet.
