POSSIBILITIES OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN CONDUCTING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON TRANSNATIONAL CYBERCRIME УДК 343.98

Abstract

The article notes the importance of international cooperation in countering transnational cybercrime, which is considered as a global international problem. Accordingly, the idea is expressed that scientific and methodological support for activities to detect, suppress, investigate and prevent transnational cybercrime is a global scientific problem that requires the combined efforts of scientists from different countries. It is noted that the most promising is the interaction of scientists from countries cooperating within the framework of various political, socio-economic organizations. Such states, in particular, are the BRICS member countries. Strengthening socio-economic ties between these countries will undoubtedly cause not only positive activity in the field of trade, production, education, culture and other spheres of life. There is no doubt that representatives of the criminal contingent will also try to use the strengthening cooperation to intensify and expand criminal activity in the territories of the interacting states participating in BRICS. In this regard, the problem of consolidating the efforts of the BRICS member states in improving the means, methods and techniques for solving and investigating transnational cybercrimes arises. The article notes that in these countries there is a different level of development, prevalence of digital tools, technologies, software products that can be used in committing transnational cybercrimes. The author suggests that the  subjects of cybercrimes, representing different countries, differing in the level of education, experience and focus of criminal activity, prefer repetitive methods of encroachment. One of the main elements of such methods is the use, design of certain software to achieve the ultimate goal of the crime, conceal the nature of the actions performed. The content of this element in the actions of representatives of different countries differs significantly, which requires the use of specific means, methods and techniques of diagnostics, identification of the subjects of the crime. Representatives of different ethnic groups participating in the commission of a single crime form and use original means of communication. Recognition of the meaning of the information transmitted by such subjects also requires the use of non-standard techniques, methods and means. Generalization of the named and other signs of crimes of the type under consideration, construction of methods for solving and investigating such attacks will be more productive within the framework of international scientific cooperation.
