Cybercrime has to be prevented and fought by global, pertinent regulations, capable to handle both the technologic inefficiencies in terms of security and the legislative ones characterizing contemporary society. In this respect, the author believes there is need for a partitioned leadership at world level, capable to respond and adapt in due time to the major technologic changes of society. The solutions proposed for the regulation of cybercrime include establishment of an International Criminal Court judging cybercrimes and also a Global Treaty in the field of cyber security and cybercrime.
