Summary/Abstract |
THE COVID-19 pandemic has forced the world to plunge into the virtual space and to digitalize economic and everyday life. Crime, having rapidly adapted to the new conditions, has rushed to take advantage of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Phishing, ransomware, DDoS attacks, and cyberattacks are constantly in the news and have become part of our everyday lives. In an era of unrestrained digitalization, computer attacks could have devastating consequences and lead to disasters related to national security.

The list of potential targets for information weapon attacks includes not only the information resources of the Internet, but also the critical infrastructures of States in the industry, transport and energy sectors. What's more, the scale and technological level of such destructive impact are steadily increasing.
