РАССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ПРЕСТУПЛЕНИЙ, СВЯЗАННЫХ С НАРУШЕНИЕМ ПРАВИЛ ИНФОРМАТИЗАЦИИ В ЗАКОНОДАТЕЛЬСТВЕ РЕСПУБЛИКИ УЗБЕКИСТАН
The investigation of crimes related to violations of information technology regulations in the Republic of Uzbekistan presents an urgent and complex challenge in the context of society's digital transformation. Within the framework of current legislation, including the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Informatization" (2003) and other regulatory acts, such crimes encompass unauthorized access to information systems, data breaches, cyberattacks, and non-compliance with critical infrastructure protection requirements. The key entities responsible for investigations are specialized units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service, which collaborate with IT experts to analyze digital traces, conduct cybernetic examinations, and ensure the preservation of electronic evidence. However, the process is complicated by the rapid advancement of technologies, cybercriminals' use of encryption and anonymization techniques, and the transnational nature of cybercrimes, which necessitates international cooperation. Violations in the sphere of informatization pose risks to national security, the economy, and citizens' privacy, which is particularly critical in the context of implementing state digitalization programs.
