Abstract

Cybercrime is defined as a crime in which a computer is the object of the crime (hacking, phishing, spamming) or is used as a tool to commit an offense (child pornography, hate crimes). The advancement of technology has made us dependent on internet for all our needs. Internet has given us easy access to everything without moving from our place. Social networking, online shopping, storing data, gaming, online studying, online jobs, every possible thing that man can think of can be done through the medium of internet. However, with the development of the internet and its related benefits, the concept of cybercrimes arose. Cybercrimes are committed in different forms. In a report published by the National Crime Records Bureau, the incidence of cybercrimes under the IT Act has increased by 85.4% in the year 2011 as compared to 2010 in India, whereas the increase in incidence of the crime under IPC is by 18.5% as compared to the year 2010.
