Abstract
Purpose of Research. Russia and foreign countries are faced with an unprecedented growth of cybercrime, causing enormous harm to states, businesses and individuals, and the low efficiency of implemented measures to combat it. Issues of definition of concept, essence of cybercrime and list of crimes constituting it, as well as law enforcement practice of combating it are referred to the number of relevant and sufficiently reflected in scientific literature. Of interest is the state and trends of cybercrime in foreign countries and the problems arising in countering it. The purpose of the study is to establish the status, basic trends and structure of cybercrime in Russia and foreign countries, as well as identifying the main directions of counteraction to it. Conclusions. The author notes that cybercrime is recognized as a complex transnational problem and represents a serious social danger. In spite of realized measures of counteraction to cybercrime and its high rate of latency in 2021 there was an increase in both the number of reports of crimes committed and the total amount of damages caused. The U.S. and the U.K. traditionally lead the world's top 20 countries affected by cybercrime. The threat of digital attacks continues to grow, organizations around the world are spending more and more money on cybersecurity, trying to circumvent such violations, but only a set of preventive measures implemented on a regular basis at the international, national and private levels will achieve positive results in the fight against cybercrime.
