Abstract

Security, safety, and privacy are of paramount importance to anyone who likes to crawl on the web. Keeping the best interest of the internet users in mind, India has laid down very solid foundations to safeguard its people from cyberattacks and cyber terrorism. The word “cyber law” encompasses all the cases, statutes, and constitutional provisions that affect persons and institutions who control the entry to cyberspace, provide access to cyberspace, create the hardware and software that enable people to access cyberspace or use their own devices to go “online” and enter cyberspace. Cyber crimes are unlawful acts wherein the computer is either a tool or a target or both. Cyber crimes can involve criminal activities that are traditional in nature, such as theft, fraud, forgery, defamation, and mischief, all of which are subject to the Indian Penal Code.
