Criminal procedural evidence in the information society requires amendments to the theory of criminal procedure law to increase the efficiency of criminal proceedings, to ensure the information security of the state and society in connection with the threat of cybercrime caused by access to information and communication systems, payment cards and bank accounts in order to steal the funds of citizens.
