The article examines the history of the emergence and development of cybercrime, the specifics of the current situation in society, which contributes to an increase in the number of cybercrimes and ways of countering cybercrime. It has been established that cybercrime first appeared in the middle of the last century. This was due to the emergence and subsequent intensive growth in the number of computers, and then smartphones. However, cybercrime that exists today is significantly different from what it was in its early days. Today, the number of devices and services provided via the Internet is growing, the number of users is growing, and, accordingly, the number of cybercrimes and the level of their organization is growing.

This article highlights the possibilities of practical use of the potential of the operational search event «Obtaining computer information». Based on the analysis of judicial practice, the mechanism for fixing the results of such an operational search event is described. The expediency of a clearer legislative consolidation of procedural and procedural aspects of obtaining computer information in order to counter computer crime is proved. The scientific novelty of the article also lies in the justification of the need to empower law enforcement officials to demand from the owners of the Internet resources or individual applications data about the user of a particular account on the Internet in order to authorise it. It is proposed to oblige providers and Telecom operators to block access to the account or the entire Internet resource of the corresponding user, should the law enforcement agencies contact them with such a recommendation. The recommendation should indicate the facts of illegal activity of the user, which should be confirmed by a screenshot of the computer screen, mobile phone or relevant materials of the operational search event.

This chapter seeks to set the scene and make some proposals for how we may make progress in the field of internet jurisdiction. For this purpose, the chapter will focus on three examples where the matter of internet jurisdiction is a major concern for internet intermediaries. The first relates to the validity of the terms of service that internet intermediaries typically impose on their users, and which typically contain important provisions regarding jurisdiction and applicable law. The second example relates to situations in which law enforcement agencies seek access to user data held by internet intermediaries. Such situations give rise to important matters of jurisdiction, not only where the requesting law enforcement agency and the internet intermediary are based in different countries, but may also—as was illustrated in the well-known Microsoft Warrant case—give rise to such issues where the requested data is stored outside the country in which both the law enforcement agency and the internet intermediary are based. The third example relates to the matter of geographical scope where an internet intermediary is required to remove, block, take down, delist, de-index, or de-reference content.

Exploiting the benefits afforded by the Internet, violent extremists have created and utilised a myriad of online platforms (e.g., websites, forums, blogs, social media) that have abetted and enhanced their recruitment campaigns across the world. While the idea of countering violent extremists' online presence is a matter of considerable security interest, the paucity of research analysing the persuasiveness of their online platforms to certain target audiences impedes law enforcement agencies' capability to deal with them. There is a need to understand why their online platforms are so persuasive to certain target audiences. Focusing on these online platforms, this chapter will examine the features of these platforms that enhance the appeal of violent extremist messages.

Anonymity is perhaps the most valued feature of the Internet as its users are able to conceal their true identities or assume pseudonyms in the cyber world. Anonymity may be good for freedom of speech as any speakers could freely express their thoughts without the fear of being identified (though not impossible). Unfortunately, anonymity poses great challenges to law enforcement agencies as they would face difficulty in tracing cyber offenders. For that reason, the Malaysian Parliament has passed a new section 114A of the Evidence Act 1950 that has the effect of shifting the burden of proof on the alleged offenders to prove his innocence. This provision seems to be in contrast with the legal maxim of ‘semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit’ which means ‘he who asserts must prove’. This same principle has also been adopted in Islamic criminal law as the Islamic legal maxim has explicitly stated that ‘the onus of proof is upon the claimant, and the taking of an oath is upon him who denies’. As such, this paper attempts to scrutinise the approach that has been adopted by judges in interpreting and applying this new law. Further, a comparative analysis with Islamic criminal law will be made in order to ascertain whether such principle could be applied in certain cases since cyber criminals are hardly traceable or identifiable. The study is largely based on doctrinal research as it is primarily concerned with the review of relevant decided cases and statutory provisions as well as text books, journal articles and seminar papers. To sum up, it is submitted that the new law does not amount to an automatic presumption of guilt as the prosecutors are still required to prove the existence of relevant basic facts before the accused is mandated to prove his innocence.
