Abstract

Covering the incidents of cyber attacks, mass media inform the public about possible security threats and form the conventional knowledge of cyber criminals and their motives. The study of cybercrime framing in Russian and English media texts allows for reconstructing the sense-making process for a relatively new phenomenon in the different linguocultural communities. Russian and English-language media represent cyber attacks via frames of war, game, pandemic and crime. The frames appear as dynamic cognitive models that are able to adjust their content and structure to different contexts
