Abstract
Continuous expansion of the scope of network information technologies application permanently create the background for the appearance of new threats to the security of individuals, society and the state, including information security. Especially dangerous are terrorist acts potential threats by using information resources in the appropriate infrastructure of society and the state individual institutions. The current state of the problem of criminal liability for trespass to digital information, their dynamics and impact on Russia's technological and industrial potential, as well as the negative consequences of committing crimes in the sphere of digital information are considered in the article. A wide use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is an integral requirement of time representing an indicator of the development of a modern economy, both private and national, i.e. state. However, an increase in the share of information crime interferes with the progressive development of ICT. When using the methodological approach in science, measures of general prevention, as well as measures of special prevention aimed at digital crime countering are singled out. The most effective of them are special preventive measures, such as the current criminal, criminal procedure and information legislation improvement; the judicial practice improvement; the creation of new and improvement of existing methods of investigation and prevention of digital security crimes; the qualified personnel training in the field of information security (including specialized research institutes and government agencies of the relevant areas); as well as the need to keep within the necessary information security limits by the users themselves, both in the workplace and in everyday communication. This article is devoted to discussing some of these special preventive measures.
Highlights
Strengthening of the country's defence capacity and its national security largely depends on the active development of the informative society, both globally and nationally
The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation uses the term “crimes in the field of computer information”, but it seems to us that this definition is excessively narrow due to the fact that modern development of science and technology has resulted in the widespread use of digital rather than computer information
It should be noted that regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation contain synonymous terms, such as “computer information”, “digital information” and “electronic information”, that inevitably leads to certain confusion in terminology
Summary
Strengthening of the country's defence capacity and its national security largely depends on the active development of the informative society, both globally and nationally. Contemporary information and telecommunication devices have a truly large potential, but the process of their active use in all spheres of society has inevitably entailed a number of negative phenomena, such as a steady increase in the number of digital information offences. The related issues of criminal responsibility for committing crimes with the use of computer and telecommunication technologies require consideration as well. We consider it expedient to research social relations evolving in the sphere of criminal legal regulation of offences against digital information. Study the practice of rules applying on criminal liability for crimes in the sphere of digital information and on the basis of the data obtained, to determine the effectiveness of mentioned standards
