Abstract

In today's world, information technology plays a key role in the functioning of society. The development of the Internet and digital communications has opened up new opportunities, but has also led to an increase in the number of cyber-attacks that pose a serious threat to any organization, regardless of its size and industry. Cyberattacks are a specific type of crime that require special attention and approaches to solve and prevent them. Currently, law enforcement agencies face a number of serious problems in investigating cybercrime, which are discussed in this article.

The main purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of cyberattacks, analyze their characteristics, and develop recommendations for effective detection and investigation of cybercrime.

The article uses methods of analytical and comparative analysis, study and generalization of scientific literature, normative legal acts and practical materials on the topic of cyberattacks. At the same time, this article applies a qualitative method of research by conducting an online survey of citizens of Kazakhstan. In addition, the analysis of statistical data revealing the state of crime in the sphere of informatization and communication in the Republic of Kazakhstan was carried out.

The results obtained can be used by law enforcement agencies, experts in the field of cyber security, as well as developers of legislative and regulatory acts to improve the effectiveness of countering cyber attacks.

Cyberattacks are a complex and multifaceted threat requiring a comprehensive approach to their detection and investigation. On the basis of an analysis of the data obtained, it was concluded that it was effective in improving the activities of law enforcement agencies and the judicial system in countering crime in the area of informatisation and communications. The effective countering of these offences requires the continuous improvement of law enforcement methods and international cooperation.
