Abstract
Crime time as we have known a few years ago, are past now. Material damage that can be committed by mouse clicking or keyboard typing today is disproportionately higher in relation to the threat of a gun, trafficking or sale of narcotics. It is expressed in hundred billion dollars. And not only that, the perpetrators of the past could be almost all people, regardless of gender, age, race, level of education. Today this is no longer the case. The perpetrators of today's crimes are far more educated, professional and in some way represent the elitist part (if it is so can call) gangland. How, then, behave and how to fight against such sophisticated methods of committing crime? Is that even possible? Some of the an-swers will be outlined in this paper, however this paper do not represent any "cookbook" to prevent, or how the "battle", but just in these indications to be followed. Why? Because the variability of the shape and flexibility of this new way of crime is so great that it is impossible to prevent in the full sense of the word.
