Two seemingly distinct topics, that of the rule of law and the need for digital transition are very present nowadays. Conference speakers, IT people, lawyers, politicians, government officials, NGOs and even everyday people discuss one or the other, sometimes both. When the two topics are combined together we get cyberlaw, a developing multidisciplinary topic that is driving public attention. 

We will examine real cases of common cybercrime - the Phishing attack, DDoS, Card fraud and Ransomware - this time from a legal angle. We will take a pragmatic look at various aspects of cybercrime examples. Our journey begins by introducing cybercrime canvass: notoriously transnational nature of cybercrime, simplified access to instruments for cybercrime commission as well as our heightened exposure to it against the backdrop of geopolitical developments, technological advancements, and developments in European and domestic legislation. Where does a rule of cyberlaw stand? What should a country on the (long) path to the EU membership, with developing cyberlaw framework, and transitional economy aspire to?
