Abstract:

The public-related cybercrime is first defined officially in The Act Concerning Several Issues of Criminal Procedure in Cybercrime(2014), and it is classified as one of the four kinds of cybercrimes New difficulties on the authentication of electronic evidence are created because this crime involves many victims who are in different places The technological facilities in investigating institution or procuratorate can be used to ensure the defendant have enough time to examine the electronic evidence in pre-court session It is suggested that static storage and dynamic demonstration should be examined separately in content verification The Act provides a flexible measure But the “beyond reasonable doubt” proof standard should be obeyed; the court should apply this provision strictly

Key words: public-related cybercrime, electronic evidence, best evidence principle, authentication
