With increasing technology and moving people to interpersonal relationships with each other, online communication begins to shift the real world and increasingly to virtual communication. Much of the crimes and incitement to child-directed crime begin to turn into online crime. It hides even greater dangers, greater psychological pressure, victimization and harassment on victims than in real contact with them. The attempt to create a psychological profile to identify the personal and behavioral characteristics of cybercriminals against the personality is a central focus of this article. In general, malware distributors have an increased need for recognition, expression and self-assertion. They demonstrate narcissistic attitudes, egocentrism and passive-aggressive self-assertion. Most often, perpetrators show different kinds of obsessions. Malware distributors among children usually reduce their own anxiety, depression and frustration. A distinctive feature is the dehumanization of the victim and the realization of fantastic behavior. Sexual crimes in the Internet on children are sexual sadism and violence against children. Depending on the type of event, they are: "confident in their strength"; "Strong and assertive"; "Angry revenge" and "angry excitement." The perpetrators of this type of crimes are largely self-controlled, impulsive and lacking in social contacts. They lack respect for moral and legal norms.
