According to international law, cyber-attacks can be categorized as international crimes. Cyber-attacks took place in Estonia and Iran resulted in material losses, violations of sovereignty, disruption of public facilities and threatening the security of a country, and can even be considered as the initial signal of other international crimes that could threaten world peace and security. However, until now, burden of proof of cyber-attack has still obstacles and challenges in the international world. The focus of the research is to find out international legal arrangements related to burden of proof of cyber-attacks as international crimes by using technology as a tool in realizing crimes. To get it, very important to explore some law and cases. The type of the research is normative legal research by using legal materials such as some law and case. The data are then analyzed qualitatively. The results show that there are challenges in proving of cyber-attacks, namely the nature of borderless and anonymous attacks, the difficulty in determining the place and time of the attack, variations in attack techniques, and political power.
