Information-related crimes in a field of business activity under current criminal law provisions of the Russian Federation are examined in this article. The author analyses a current state of criminal law in the era of post-industrial society and proposes a definition of term “information” that could be suitable for purposes of criminal law. Definitions of information that have earlier been proposed and developed are assessed in this article. Based on the protective function of criminal law, a critical analysis of the widespread opinion of information-related crimes as exclusively cybercrimes has been carried out by the author. So, the concept of information-related crime in the sphere of business activity may be described as following. An information-related crime is such a crime in which information is presented: 1 – as a part of the object of a crime, 2 – as a target of a crime, 3 – as a means of committing a crime, 4 – or when there is an informational method of committing a crime.
