Cybercrime is the most dangerous cyberoffences, the commission of which at various stages is directly related to the use of computer technology through computer systems, or to computer systems, and for which the current legislation provides for criminal liability. The system of features of the fight against cybercrime is defined as two-level.

In the process of analyzing the legal doctrine, the following are distinguished as special ones, namely characteristic exclusively of the fight against cybercrime: (1) a sign of the possibility of a counter attack from the side of cybercriminals; (2) a sign of commitment by exclusively competent entities possessing the specialized knowledge and necessary resources; (3) a sign of inter-statehood; 4) a sign of unity of states.
