This decision is associated with an increase in the number of cybercrimes in the Russian Federation in recent years.

Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin signed an order to create a new unit as part of the Main Investigation Department - a department for the investigation of cybercrimes and crimes in the field of high technology. This decision was caused by an increase in the number of cybercrimes in the Russian Federation in recent years, the agency’s press service said.

Investigators of the new department will specialize in the investigation of this category of crimes, which are distinguished by special specifics.

According to the TFR, the investigation of cybercrimes is particularly difficult, which is due not only to their specificity and non-obviousness, "but also to their inherent interregional and international character."

The results of monitoring the state of crime in recent years indicate an increase in the number of crimes in the field of computer information. If in 2018 the number of such cyberattacks amounted to 170 thousand, then over the three quarters of this year it amounted to more than 200 thousand throughout the country.
