Cyber Law is the Law against cyber-crimes.
Cyber Crimes are Crime’s carried out by the use of cyber space (unlawful acts carried out with or without the use of internet) which consists of virtual and physical infrastructures that governs the entire cyber space.
With the advent of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), the globe that had appeared to be massive once, has now shrunk to a size, which is reachable by one’s fingertips. The use of Internet and the creation of World Wide Web have been a tipping point and have opened floodgates for mass scale development that was a distant dream for human beings. Of all the wonderful revolutions that the universe has adopted and transformed itself into, the revolution brought about by the Information and Technology and its exponential growth has proved to be of a colossal proportion the advantage and the dynamics of which is enjoyed by the networking netizens all around the globe. Never ever had mankind encountered such a stupendous exposition to a hub of knowledge and seamless connectivity with the entire human race, which has annihilated the geographical boundaries that once were looked upon as hindrance for growth and development.
Using the same technological advancement, cyber crooks are targeting individuals, their tangible and in-tangible properties and also directing attacks on Governments and their infrastructure, which has caused many economies to bleed profusely. Though we have catapulted from Stone Age to Phone Age, the challenges posed by this advent are of distinct nature and is proving to be a nightmare for law enforcers all-round the globe.
The shift from E-commerce to M-commerce (Mobile commerce) will have its own diabolic propensity for E-criminals.
Cyber Crime usually has an impact on three things close to us – Identity, Privacy and Finances. A unique feature of cybercrime is that the consequences aren’t’‘visible’ instantaneously as with other forms of crimes like murder, burglary, kidnapping, etc. Also, the time interval between the occurrence of the crime and the victim’s realization can sometimes be so long as to eliminate all possibilities of collecting appropriate evidence. Protecting the Privacy of both an Individual’s identity and his Data is yet to be factored in and needs to be invigorated to its fullest secured levels.
