The article is devoted to the study of the genesis of crime in the sphere of computer information as a socio-legal manifestation and a phenomenon of legal reality from the point of view of a systematic historical approach. The analysis made it possible to consider the stages of development and the current state of computer crime, as well as possible directions for its transformation in order to identify the most promising methods of preventing illegal acts, as well as the timely adaptation of legislative, administrative and other preventive measures. It is concluded that the emergence of new forms of cybercrime will be due to the complex interaction of technological, social, economic and political factors, and the main mechanism for counteracting destructive forms in the area under study will be LegalTech tools in the form of software and hardware to support legal activities based on Web 4.0 industry stack, represented by artificial intelligence technologies, distributed registry, ultra-high data transmission, the Internet of things, as well as virtual and augmented reality.
