Abstract
The article is devoted to the study and evaluation of the main norms and legal ways of response in the existing international law, which are proposed to combat cyberattacks, in particular, the problem of cybercrime attribution. The peculiarities of the attribution of cybercriminal activity and the existing practice of technical, public and legal attribution are analyzed. It was established that there are no special rules regarding the attribution of cyber attacks in international law. It was noted that the grounds for assigning conduct to the state are contained in the 2001 ‘Articles on Responsibility for Internationally Illegal Acts’. The ‘Articles’ are not legally binding as they are doctrine, but most of the norms have acquired a customary character, justifying their application to cyber attacks. It can be argued that the need for a reliable response to the challenges of the dynamic environment of cyber threats actualized the development of doctrines aimed at offensive actions against hostile actors in cyberspace, which assume the possibility of preventive, anticipatory actions. The authors consider it indisputable that in the context of international security there is an urgent need to unite global efforts to implement effective control over cyber incidents and ensure responsible behavior, especially of state actors in cyberspace. The function of countermeasures is to induce the offending state to fulfill its international obligations. It was noted that according to modern customary international law and the judicial practice of the International Court of Justice, anticipatory self-defense, as part of an offensive strategy to combat cyber threats, is not recognized as a countermeasure. A state whose countermeasure against a cyber attack does not subsequently pass a legality check will bear responsibility for the illegality of its actions. It was concluded that it is legal attribution that will contribute to the generally recognized application of norms and rules of international law to cyber operations.
