This trend poses a serious threat to the entire cyberspace, because cyberspace and society are already inseparable for the current day. The research purpose: on the basis of system and comparative analysis, to study the international experience of criminal-legal counteraction to crimes committed using digital technologies, to identify advanced initiatives that can be used to optimize domestic legislation in this field. The study of the provisions of criminal legislation, as well as national plans for counteracting IT crimes in the countries of Western Europe, the United States, the Arabian Peninsula, South-East Asia and the CIS countries allowed to form a unified picture of counteracting digital crimes on the world stage.
