Features of the use of cryptocurrencies in the commission of crimes in the field of high technology

Abstract

Today, a serious challenge for law enforcement is the threats
posed by the so-called anonymous segments of the Internet, which are actively used by organized criminal communities to prepare and commit crimes, as well as for their safe financing using cryptocurrencies. The results of the study indicate that in scientific and practical terms, this area has been studied extremely poorly and needs comprehensive research. A significant foundation for this can be the advanced foreign experience of countries that have faced these threats before us and are currently developing effective methods of countering crimes in the field of high technology. The analysis of various materials in this direction shows the elements of the methodology of their disclosure, which, with appropriate systematization, can be adapted to Kazakh conditions and will contribute to effective counteraction by law enforcement agencies.
