Modern Information Wars in the International Economy

   The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the concepts of "cyber warfare", "hacker attack", "information terrorism" have begun to be used everywhere in modern confrontations, along with the rather aggressive introduction of various information tools and mechanisms, including instant messengers, electronic wallets, cryptocurrency, or simply cloud data storage, which can also be used by unscrupulous users to earn money or steal information. Private users often become victims of information attacks and the total damage from them can reach several tens of billions of dollars a year. Hacking attempts and hacking corporate networks of companies, government organizations and infrastructure facilities is also an urgent problem in the present period of time. Another serious area of "information wars" is the dissemination of unreliable, false (fake) information.
   The purpose of the study is to study the features of conducting "information wars" and the nature of the spread of false information in the modern international economy.
   Objectives. Achieving this goal predetermined the solution of the following tasks: studying the features of the organization of the country's protective space; study of the main objects of information wars; analysis of the tools of modern information wars in our country.
   Methodology. The basis of the research is the methods of rating and statistical data analysis, data processing, induction, deduction, synthesis and other general scientific methods.
   Results. It seems necessary to include the results obtained in the course of the study: an analysis of the consequences of information wars, an analysis of the elements of cybercrime in the modern economy, and the identification of their impact on the economic performance of the participating countries.
   Conclusions. In conclusion, it is concluded that modern methods and tools of conducting information wars are one of the main levers of pressure on the opponent, the main of which is the dissemination of false information. The main value in this fight is to obtain as much reliable information as possible and protect your own information and information environment.
