Summary/Abstract: Cybercrime is a field of research that is distinguished by the multitude of methodologies used, ranging from the anthropological to the psychoanalytic, through sociology, law and communication. In the field of information and communication sciences (ICS), research has focused rather on technical and legal devices. Our contribution aims to explore how emerging media contribute to combating cybercrime through the prism of a lexicometric analysis of official cybersecurity platforms, using "web scraping", a Big Data technique dedicated to the extraction of large data. The lexicometric analysis of two official websites shows distinct yet complementary approaches. One focuses on raising awareness, combating disinformation, and protecting children online, while the other emphasizes the security of personal and financial data as well as the legal and punitive aspects of cybercrime. These differences reflect the cultural and legal specificities of the North-South contexts while enhancing the understanding of digital prevention strategies.
