Cyber Crime Law

Remember Bruce Willis, the main protagonist in the fourth installment of theĀ  Die Hard series last summer? Live Free or Die Hard depicts Willis as the New York police department detective John McClane who is commissioned to capture a gang of ‘cyber terrorists’ intent on shutting down the entire world’s internet. In today’s increasingly volatile world of mobile activated bombs and websites of
various militant groups, it is not hard to imagine the Die Hard scenario materializing in real life as well.

One of the most fascinating aspects of modern technology is how it has penetrated every scope and strata of society. Everyone from the uneducated mechanic to the high-profile chief executive officer of a firm now carries a mobile and is aware of what a computer is. This infiltration of technology in our communities has, by and large, proved to be beneficial. But like every other good thing, technology too can be exploited. This exploitation, among other things, has resulted in certain crimes being committed through or against computers, their affiliated networks and the information contained within them. Thus, came about the neologism of cyber crime.
