Summary/Abstract: Viewed from the aspect of the time we belong to, and in the time ahead of us it will be more pronounced every day, one of the most dangerous types of crime is generally high-tech crime. There are more reasons that speak in favor of such a high degree of social danger from this type of crime. Among them, the following are of particular importance: every day his increasing presence, and that in the most frequented institutions of society as a whole. For example, it is enough to mention the fact that hackers in the US entered the computer system of the Pentagon; in Germany to the state chancellor’s computer; false anonymous reports about planting bombs and explosives in schools, airplanes and other public institutions in Serbia; then that a large number of electronic letters blocked the electronic system of banks and the government, etc. Considering this, it is not surprising, for example, nor the warning from NATO officials that online espionage and terrorism on the Internet represent some of the most dangerous threats to global security. Then there are the consequences it entails, as well as its international character. A characteristic of high-tech crime is its connection with the most serious forms of crime (the case, above all, with organized crime and terrorism, where it becomes not only a powerful lever of their planning, but also a key means of execution). And finally, the difficult way of discovering and proving these criminal acts.
