The article is devoted to the problem of collecting digital traces from social networks and messengers. Two main groups are identified: technical and forensic, which require special knowledge for data analysis, and international legal, which is related to the lack of a unified convention on cybercrime. Examples are given to show that this hinders the investigation of crimes.

The article is dedicated to the analysis of a new security measure in criminal proceedings – the suspension of transactions under Article 115.2 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the rapid growth of cybercrime and the need to adapt procedural tools to the realities of the digital economy. The work examines the legal nature of this measure, enshrined by the legislator as an alternative measure of procedural coercion. The grounds and conditions for its application, as well as the procedural order of its implementation, are examined in detail. A central place is given to a comparative analysis of the suspension of transactions and the classic seizure of property (Article 115 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation), which reveals their fundamental differences in purpose, the subject authorized to make the decision, duration, and legal consequences. It is concluded that the introduction of Article 115.2 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation establishes a two-tier model of security, where the new measure serves as an operational tool of «procedural first aid» for the temporary blocking of liquid assets.

The article examines the specifics of using digital technologies in solving and investigating crimes in the context of the digital transformation of society. It analyzes technical, legal and organizational aspects of using digital evidence, including legal regulation within the framework of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and other regulations. Particular attention is paid to modern integration projects, such as the Safe City system, and their role in ensuring public safety and increasing the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies.
