Developing a System of Indicators for Clustering Financial Cybercrime

Abstract

This study aims to propose a system of indicators for dividing financial cybercrime into groups. The results of this study indicate absence of taxonomic indicators regarding clustering of financial cybercrimes and wide differences in approaches to the development of such indicators in relation to cybercrimes. The proposed system of indicators for clustering of financial cybercrime is designed to help create a unified, consistent and holistic classification of cybercrime. The results of the study can be applied in the criminal legal classification of unlawful acts corresponding to the general concept of financial cybercrime.
