This study contains up-to-date information about the current state of digital (cyber) crime. Special attention is paid to the disclosure of the concept of digital crime, its properties and characteristics. Aspects related to the prevention of this type of crime deserve special attention. The key objective of this scientific research is to present and reveal the signs of modern digital (cyber) crime. This work is based on methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, statistical methods of cognition, etc. The authors emphasize that digital (cyber) crime is currently strengthening its position more and more. This is due to the fact that digital technologies are very common in the modern period, which researchers reasonably pay attention to. Many digital definitions and terms are interrelated and eventually, if they somehow begin to appear in the commission of crimes (for example, as a subject of criminal encroachment or a means of committing it), they form such a phenomenon as digital crime (or cybercrime). According to the authors, digital crime should be understood as a set of crimes, the subject of which are, as a rule, personal data, electronic means of payment, as well as computer networks or ITT are often used in their commission. Countering the crimes in question includes a set of various actions that are provided for by the current legislation.
