The article deals with the problem of criminal offenses in the information sphere, in
particular new ways of criminal activity, called cybercrime. Against this background, research,
first of all, on foreign experience in solving the problem of preventing criminal offenses in the
informational sphere is currently quite a significant task for the national legal science.

the current legislation of Ukraine, international legal acts conclude that Ukraine, in the form
of bodies dealing with crime, should harmonize domestic legislation with the legislation of the
European Union, integrate world experience in national practice, respond in a timely manner
to appearance of new threats aimed at access to personal data, work on creation of more
reliable forms of protection of confidential information, as well as to amend the Criminal Code
of Ukraine style of increasing responsibility for crimes in the field of computer and
information technologies.
