" the mechanisms of obtaining digital evidence and using it as proof in cybercrimes."

Abstract

With the rapid advancement of technology and the emergence of cyberspace, electronic crimes have become a serious threat to societies in the modern era. By exploiting modern electronic means such as the internet, fax, and other communication channels, perpetrators have expanded the scope of committing crimes beyond national borders. These crimes, characterized by innovation and development, have proven difficult to categorize within traditional criminal descriptions.

Law enforcement agencies suffer from the fragility of the criminal tracking system, as new technologies have surpassed their traditional capabilities and procedures. This situation has necessitated the development of criminal laws to reflect legal precision and take into account the aspects and dimensions of modern technology. Consequently, cooperation with international treaties has become necessary to achieve justice.

Among the significant developments in the current era, the use of digital evidence in criminal prosecution stands out, as new technologies have influenced the process of criminal proof. It is challenging for crime-fighting entities to employ traditional methods of proof due to the difficulty of examining and testing data related to electronic means. These technologies require an update of traditional legal methods of proof and the development of search and investigation procedures to adapt to the new challenges in the field of electronic crime
