Abstract

The growth of the internet and proliferation of applications, products, and services has given rise to cyber threats which require far more stringent security measures than ever before. Some common types of cybercrimes are job fraud, phishing, baiting, vishing, smishing, credit and debit card fraud, child pornography, cyberbullying, etc. Cyber laws need constant upgrading and refinement to keep pace with the increasing technology. In India, various statutes and initiatives have been launched to ensure its cyber security such as Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act), Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC), National Cybersecurity Framework (NCFS), financial assistance, Cyber Crime Prevention against Women & Children (CCPWC), Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), and Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY).
