Criminological and criminal law aspects of the ransomware spread
Oborák, Daniel ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the ransomware spread, which is currently one of the most prominent global cybernetic threats. Ransomware is malicious code that, when activated on a computer system, usually blocks access to that system or encrypts the data contained in it, which is then used to blackmail the user. This thesis deals with criminological and criminal aspects of this phenomenon. In its criminological part, this thesis deals with the issue of the etiology of the ransomware spread and its criminogenic factors, while examining, among other things, the applicability of cybercriminological theory named space transition theory to a given phenomenon. It also deals with the victimological aspect of the matter, listing the most fundamental factors influencing victimization, both in the case of widespread non-targeted ransomware attacks and in the case of specifically targeted attacks. It also examines the issue of the high latency of this phenomenon and cybercrime in general and the possibility of prevention, which it considers to be the best way to defend against a ransomware attack. In particular, it deals with the issue of ransomware attacks on hospitals and critical infrastructure, and also raises the issue of the increase in the number of attacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The...

Criminological aspects of cybercrime
Kopáč, Jan ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Today, the phenomenon of cybercrime can no longer be considered something obscured or unknown to the general public. Yet the majority of general population is aware of only a fraction of the offenses committed in cyberspace. As a result, a substantial proportion of Internet users act in violation of valid legislation in cyberspace, whether they do so knowingly or not. Cybercrime cannot be considered less dangerous than other forms of crime. On the contrary, due to its availability, globality and possible distance of the offender from the crime itself, this kind of criminal behaviour is on the rise year by year and its effects are becoming more severe, mainly due to the dependence of today's society on information and communication technologies. The aim of this thesis is to provide an introduction to the cybernetic world crime and offer a general view of the various aspects of this criminal activity. The introduction of my thesis deals with detailed description of the basic terminology present throughout the whole thesis and contains a brief description of the history and origins of the computer and Internet. An essential part of my thesis is the presentation of the legislative framework in the field of cybercrime regulation. This section mentions the laws that apply in the cyberspace environment...

Cyber Crimes and it’s influential factors in Ghana
Arthur, James
This bachelor thesis present results of the study of cybercrime and its influential factors in Ghana. Information Communication Technology (ICT) has undoubtedly been a tool for rapid globalization due to its efficient facilitation of businesses, education, legal systems and others. This has been achieved through the Internet as it has no geographical boundaries and thus made the world a global village. Nonetheless, the Internet has been a coin with two sides where besides offering positive and efficient legal life services, is being used by others to commit crime called cybercrime. This has posed great threat and challenges to individuals and institutions of developing countries like Ghana who is now integrating and embracing technology to enhance productivity and economic growth. This study therefore investigated the driving forces behind the rise of cybercrime cases and its projections in Ghana using Winneba as the study area. A sample size of 119 was selected by purposive sampling design to achieve the study’s objectives. The study employed both questionnaire and interview as the research instrument for primary data collection. Appropriate statistical procedures such as frequency distribution tables, graphs and Chi-square test were used to present and analyse the data. The result revealed the dominant possession of ICT gadgets especially smart phones that can access the Internet among the respondents. Also, individuals indulge in cybercrime mainly because of unemployment with poverty, laziness and the quick quest to become rich being its supplementary factors. Moreover, cybercriminals were more interested in service theft and money laundering compared to other cybercrimes. They usually use sophisticating tricks and transiently taking advantage of their hacking skills to defraud vulnerable people. However, ICT must still be integrated with minimal financial lost in Ghana and that there is the utmost need for robust protective mechanism.
