It is a matter of pride that India has the second largest internet connection in the world. While having greater connectivity promises large-scale progress, it also leaves the citizens of our country exposed to new online vulnerabilities. Cybercrime refers to criminal activities that are carried out using the internet or other forms of digital communication technology. Cybercriminals use these technologies to commit a wide range of criminal activities, including hacking, identity theft, phishing, cyber bullying, and online scams.

The development of digital technologies has led to the growth of the Internet, social media, and other digital platforms that have become essential components of modern life. Criminals have found new ways to exploit vulnerabilities in these technologies. The rise of the internet and digital communication technologies has led to a corresponding increase in cybercrime, which has become a major concern for Governments, Businesses, Corporates and Individuals around the world. They may target individuals, businesses, or even Governments to gain access to sensitive information, financial data, or intellectual property.
