The subject of the research discussed in this article is the issue of – so far neglected – necessity defence in respect of Internet crimes committed remotely, particularly hacking. In the publication, the author, using a dogmatic-legal method, analyses, among other things, possible actions aimed at defence against an Internet crime when the victim has direct contact with the attacker and the possibility of a necessity defence in the context of preventing a hacking attack with the use of honeypot software. The author also provides a lex ferenda proposal for the introduction of a new lawful excuse in the special part of the Criminal Code.
