The State Duma has ratified the cooperation agreement between the CIS countries in the fight against cybercrime, reports TASS.
The document was signed in September 2018 during the meeting of the CIS Heads of State Council in Dushanbe. It aims at the practical interaction of the competent authorities of the CIS countries for the effective prevention and disclosure of crimes in the field of computer science. In May of this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted this agreement for ratification to the State Duma.
The agreement states that the parties agree to establish criminal liability for cybercrimes. & Nbsp; The document also defines these terms as malware, information system, unauthorized access to information.
As the Council of Ministers noted earlier, the document will allow the development of new mechanisms for interaction between Russian law enforcement agencies and colleagues from countries of the Commonwealth for the Prevention and Disclosure of Crimes in the Cyber Environment.
