Currently, the criminalization of the field of electronic information circulation is experiencing a substantial increase. Mass computing has led to the evolution of information technology, substantially raised the level of training of users of computing technology, brought new requirements for the improvement of electronic information processing technologies, substantially widened the scope of computing technology which, by most often, is connected to broadband networks. At the same time, we notice a wide automation of document processing in various fields of activity (economy, justice, etc.). In recent years, information has become an indispensable component of such an important area of society as transport, energy acquisition and storage, banking system, defense and the functioning of the state apparatus, which, obviously, contributed to the penetration of crime in the field of electronic information. The possibility of committing criminal deeds at a great distance from the crime scene, remaining largely unnoticed and undiscovered, is attracting increasing attention from offenders. In these circumstances, the study of judicial practice tells us about the admission of a substantial number of errors in the process of investigating cybercrime, explained by the inappropriate professional training of prosecuting officers in matters related to the operation of information technology. These circumstances require the analysis and examination of the peculiarities of the investigation of cybercrimes, specifically in order to identify new ways to streamline this activity. We note that, for the most part, the peculiarities of the investigation of cybercrimes have been exposed in the literature, but in their content, the specificity of carrying out criminal prosecution actions on this category of criminal cases has not been sufficiently reflected.
