Identity theft in cyberspace can have significant consequences, considering the fact that most of the victims of cyber identity theft do not immediately recognize that something has been stolen from them. There are various ways cyber identity theft is carried out, the most common being phishing and pharming. A small number of countries have passed criminal legislation that specifically regulates and sanction identity theft as a criminal offense, though most countries do treat identity theft as a form of illegal access to data, fraud, forgery, or copyright infringement, or as an act that precedes the commission of another criminal offense. Serbia falls into the second category. The current criminal legislation of Serbia does not specifically criminalize the act of identity theft using the Internet and social networks. If any form of identity theft occurs, the provisions of the Criminal Code relating to computer fraud, fraud, forgery and misuse of payment cards, unauthorized use of another's name and other special markings of goods or services shall apply. In addition to defining the terms of identity theft and identity abuse and analysis of phishing and pharming as the most common phenomena of cyber identity theft, this paper also presents the current applicable legislation in Serbia, with critical review, as well as international measures of protection against such criminal behavior in cyber space.

Cyberspace allows much easier access for a greater number of people, especially young people, to the propaganda of terrorist organizations and illegal activities. This kind of communication and dissemination of terrorist and criminal ideas is not only much cheaper, because it requires only an investment in a computer and access to the network, but it is anonymous, it is not spatially limited, terroristic idea and terroristic actions are performed at the same time, while the consequences can affect even more people and targets than is the case of "offline" criminality and terrorism. In recent years, the increasing problem that experts talk of in public is the "dark side of surfing the internet", the "Dark net" or the "Deep Web". Cyber terrorism is a modern form of terrorism, which connects the virtual space and terrorist activity, by manipulating even more efficient methods of psychological warfare. In the cyberspace you never know who could be the next victim. Based on the characteristics of cyber terrorism and cyber warfare, it is possible to reconstruct the criminological dimensions of the terrorist attacks in cyberspace. Social networks can be used by terrorists for the purpose of psychological warfare in order to spread disinformation, fear, panic, intimidating messages and threats to the public. Since there is not a unique definition of cyber terrorism, this paper presents various definitions, implying numerous characteristics of this kind of criminal activity. The paper also pointed out to some of the international legislation that made great efforts in order to effectively counter fight cyber terrorism, both on international as well as at member state level, and emphasized the need for interstate and intergovernmental cooperation on three parallel levels: through international organizations, through multilateral and multinational platforms and through regional action. Keywords: cyberspace, cyber terrorism, cyber warfare, steganography, encryption, social networks, international legislation

In addition to the benefits offered by the Internet and social networks, there has been an increase of cyberspace abuses related to certain groups of people belonging to particular age, gender, sex, national or religious groups. By virtue of social networks, these individuals and groups are exposed to different forms of harassment, insults, calls for lynching (etc.), all of which amount to hate speech. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognizes the freedom of expression as a human right but the freedom of expression on the Internet is subject to certain limitations because the Internet is not void of different forms of deviant behavior (such as hate speech), which incite discrimination, hatred or violence against groups or individuals on the basis of their personal characteristics. In Serbia, the relevant legal provisions for combating hate speech are embodied in the Serbian Constitution and a number of legislative acts: the Anti-Discrimination Act, the Public Information Act, the Act on the Prevention of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, and the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia. The most important factors in preventive action are: a detailed normative regulation of this subject matter, detection of all forms of Interent abuse and relevant sanctions for these offences, detection of contents published on social networks which are most frequently used to incite and disseminate nate speech, raising public awareness, ensuring constant monitoring and control by network administrators and users. ; Korišćenje informaciono komunikacionih tehnologija zahvatilo je sva područja života ljudi, njihovog rada, zabave i brojnih drugih privatnih i poslovnih aktivnosti, tako da je skoro sve u društvu postalo on line, počev od potpisivanja ugovora do vršenja krivičnih dela. Pored prednosti koje internet i društvene mreže pružaju, zabeležen je porast zloupotreba vezanih za virutelni prostor, posebno u sferi prava na privatnost. Kompjuterskoj zloupotrebi privatnosti naročito su izložene određene ...

Cybercrime or the computer-related crime is the most widespread form of transnational crime, which is in its social and economic characteristics significantly different from traditional and organized crime. Cyberspace offers countless opportunities for economic development, social interaction, and political cooperation, but also provides tools for illegal surveillance, personal data collection, influencing democratic processes, committing crimes, and exchanging numerous ways and methods of warfare. This paper provides an overview of legal documents in the Republic of Serbia related to information security, data security, and deviant behavior in cyberspace, with special emphasis on the analysis of the Strategy for Information Society Development and Information Security in the Republic of Serbia for 2021-2026. Using the criminological approach, this paper focuses on legislation concerning existing criminal offenses related to cybercrime and various forms of other criminal activities, but also on the international cooperation that Serbia achieves in the field of information and cyber security.
