The introduction of high technologies into life has led to the emergence of factors that contribute to the growth of the criminalization of society and the economy, such as rising unemployment, an increase in the time spent on the Internet, a jump in the number of purchases made through online trading platforms, a thirst for quick money or big discounts, etc. In addition, the acceleration of digitalization brought with it not only positive effects (post-pandemic economic recovery and growth in its stability), but also contributed to the active growth in the use of virtual space as a weapon of crime. As progress does not stand still, so the forms of remote crime are constantly being improved and modified, damaging the country’s economy and the well-being of the individual. Therefore, in order to build a reliable system for protecting the population from non-contact crime, a clear designation of its causal complex is necessary. The authors consider criminological and economic approaches to the determination of crime in the field of information and telecommunication technologies, and, relying on both domestic and foreign practical experience, on an interdisciplinary basis, they propose a classification of factors of remote theft of funds according to six criteria: organizational and technical, organizational and legal, socio-economic, moral, victim and political.
