Summary
The article focuses on the present state of digital forensics and its potential when investigating different types of crimes with a “digital” element. Что одним из последствий углубления и ускорения цифровизации станет рост компьютерной преступности и, как следствие, проведения исследований в рамках судебной компьютерно-технической экспертизы (СКТЭ). Одной из задач данной работы было обобщение экспертной практики лаборатории судебной компьютернотехнической экспертизы ФБУ РФЦСЭ при Минюсте России (далее – РФЦСЭ) с целью рассмотрения практического применения теоретических положений СКТЭ.
