Criminalistics analysis of cyber tools for committing crimes

The article is devoted to the problems of the information and communication technologies which are used as cyber tools for committing crimes. Due to the coronavirus and the widespread lockdown, crimes have also moved to online space. The empirical base of cybercrime is analyzed taking into consideration the latest trends caused by the ongoing pandemic. Mostly this category of crimes is latent and quite difficult to investigate. Especially due to the lack of knowledge in the field of informatics, which is constantly being transformed (changed), by investigators and other participants of the pre-trial investigation. Modern scientific and technical tools are needed to detect, collect and fixed electronic traces of cybercrimes. It should be enhance the technical capabilities of forensic laboratories that specialize in the investigation of cybercrimes related to the use of information technology. But there is a problem because of lack of financial support and needness quite expensive equipment for conducting new computer expertise. This requires significant additional funding, which is not fully provided to the police station by the government. Cybercrime is a transnational crime that has no borders. Criminals from different countries can unite and detect such complicity in a timely manner is quite difficult. So it is necessary international cooperation with FBI, Interpol and other organizations, law-enforcement bodies. During the investigation it should be reconstruct the stages of the hacker's growth and return to his the very beginning, when he was not a such professional, but only gaining experience. The complication of identifying criminals is also that they use traditional tools such as Wi-Fi routers and non-traditional ones such as "boto-farms" which are used as cybertools for committing the crime.

The Definition of Digital Criminalistics as the Origin of a Misleading Direction in Science. Part 2

Purpose. To compare and analyze the trend of appearance of the pseudo-term ‘digital criminology’ in the science of criminology and prove that this is incorrect. Methodology: induction, deduction, synthesis, analysis, formal legal method, comparative legal method, logical method. Conclusions. The evolution of methods of committing crimes and instruments of crime does not always require the evolution of the science of criminology and the emergence of its varieties. You just have to assess the prospects of extrapolative ways and methods of proving the circumstances of the crimes in the era of digitalization of social relations, in terms of the provisions of modern criminal law and only criminal-legal research unit. The definition of ‘digital criminalistics’, which has recently appeared in science, actually misleads the scientific community with its novelty and originality, since such criminalistics in nature does not exist a priori. It is necessary to speak only about forensic or expert research of carriers of digital (electronic or computer) information. In criminalistics, it is logical to develop a new direction-the forensic study of electronic media of digital information and the use of computer expertise in establishing all the circumstances of the crime committed. And this is just a new section of forensic technology, studying a new subject of research for this naki. Here, the traditional forensic methodology should be applied, which will be aimed ‘atlinking’ the electronic carrier of digital information and the digital information itself to a specific crime and to a specific person. Scientific and practical significance. The research is aimed at orienting forensic theory and practice towards the study of specific objects and contributes to the fact that all these studies are further applicable to the practice of crime investigation, and not only for theoretical purposes.

One of the developments to improve the economy is technology. The development of information technology, especially in the computer sector, has experienced rapid development. Information and communication technology has developed in all fields. One of the efforts to implement in terms of computer expertise requires training and development. One of the most effective things that can be used to develop society is through providing training. The results of the Information and Communication Technology Application training program to improve the quality of skills for residents of Srikamulyan Village, Tirtajaya District, Karawang Regency are in accordance with the objectives of the cooperation (MoU) agreed by both parties. This training went smoothly and all the participants attended and were very enthusiastic about following the material taught in the training
