Mohelský, Michal ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
ABSTRACT, KEY WORDS Seizing digital tracks for the purpose of a criminal proceeding This thesis analyzes procedural institutes of law that serve to seize digital traces on the Internet to investigate cybercrime. This document also deals with a selected procedural institute of the Convention on Cybercrime, which serves to secure digital traces. Furthermore, an assessment is made as to whether the Czech legislation meets these requirements. Data retention analysis provided information on what traffic and location data are and describes the extent of their retention. The issue of identification of offenders based on seized IP addresses was explained and anonymization methods were explained. The main goal of the thesis is an extensive elaboration of some relevant procedural institutes of the Code of criminal procedure no. 141/1961 Sb., through which digital traces are seized. This data may lead to the identification of the offender, and also for conviction of guilt during criminal proceedings. The thesis elaborates institutes: a record of telecommunication traffic, monitoring digital communication, data freeze, and physical provision of devices. This work compares individual institutes with the requirements of the Convention on CyberCrime. The author of this thesis describes in detail the conditions defined by...

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...
