Computers crimes are a relatively new and specific type of crime, their research requires the development of new methods, the use of forensic tactics specific to this type of crime. In the literature we find several strategies developed by doctrinaires, several tactical-methodical recommendations to be met by prosecuting officers, and the specifics of digital evidence. In turn, cybercrime represents various criminal activities that involve computers and computer systems either as a main tool or as a main target. These activities include: classic crimes (such as fraud, forgery and identity theft); content-related offenses (eg distribution of child pornography or incitement to racial hatred online); and computer and computer-specific offenses (for example, attacks on computer systems, DDoS attacks - blocking access, and malware).
