 What is Cyber crime???

Cyber crime is simply defined as crimes

that are directly related to computers and
using computers.

An increasing number of domestic and

international criminal activities are using
the Internet. Computers and other
electronic devices can be tools to commit
crime or are targeted by criminals. A
personal computer connected to the
Internet without protection may be
infected with malicious software in under
a minute.
 Cybercrime is one of the fastest-
growing criminal activities on the
planet. It covers a huge range of
illegal activity including financial
scams, computer hacking, virus
attacks, stalking by e-mail and
creating websites that promote
racial hatred.

Cybercrime has been used to describe

a wide range of offences, including
offences against computer data and
systems (such as hacking), computer-
related forgery and fraud (such as
phishing), content offences and
copyright offences (such as the
dissemination of pirated content).

Cyber Laws
Cyber Law is the law governing cyber space.
Cyber space is a very wide term and includes
computers, networks, software, data storage
devices (such as hard disks, USB disks etc),
the Internet, websites, emails and even
electronic devices such as cell phones, ATM
machines etc.

Needs for Cyber Law

TACKLING CYBER CRIMES
Laws are necessary in all segments of society, and e-commerce.
All Internet users, including minors, need to be assured of their privacy and
the safety of their personal information online.
A few positive developments
Recently, a few regulatory changes were introduced to improve
transparency and promote ethical business practices.
With the introduction of the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and
Assets) Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, the Benami Transaction (Prohibition)
Amendment Bill, 2015, and the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2015,
measures are in place for the penalisation of prohibited and unethical
business activities.
These are steps in the right direction. In this environment of rising economic
crime and regulatory changes, it is interesting to see self-regulation emerge
as one of the key trends.
As businesses interact with the government and civil society in new ways,
we find that they are voluntarily adopting rules related to ethics and
compliance.
