Technology in the modern era has gone through many stages until it reached a revolution that turned life upside down. Recently, the world has witnessed a significant increase in the use of computers and communication, reaping its benefits by facilitating life in various fields. This revolution has offered amazing inventions in communication, learning, and business across different sectors, accompanied by speed and accuracy in obtaining, storing, and processing information. Smartphones, tablets, and before them, computers, have provided the opportunity to accomplish many tasks in short periods, enabling connection and communication, and sparking a revolution that has brought the world into a new era, labeled the Information Age or the Electronic Age. The world has become a sprawling small village, where the barriers of time and space have collapsed, making it an interconnected cell.

Just as this advanced technology has facilitated life with its benefits realized daily thanks to information technology, which has become a building tool and a foundation for all development, it has also been accompanied by large waves of infringements, breaches, and unexpected negatives from its use by humans. It became an avenue for crime and a means to commit criminal acts previously unknown. Crime has shifted from its traditional pattern and limited dimensions to new forms, creating new criminal terms such as cybercrimes, cybercriminal, cyber victim, and electronic evidence, culminating in electronic criminal investigation. This has raised legal challenges for agencies concerned with research and investigation into the mechanism of inference and investigation to prove these crimes and unravel the tangled threads of the criminal incident in the virtual environment, where it is difficult to uncover the perpetrator and track the offender. Thus, it has become urgent and necessary for countries to develop or amend their criminal legislation to keep pace with the progress in investigation methods and the mindset of the criminal investigator to perform their duties to the fullest in confronting the methods of the cybercriminal, in an effort to uncover the truth.
