Crime is a major social and legal problem in the world, we live in and

positive association between the growth in incidence of crime and the
population of the country has been experiential.

One of the most popular and often-occurring form of crime in the world is
cyber-crime which can be easily defined as the exploitation of computer
networks, systems, and technology-dependent enterprises intentionally. The
bane of the internet means a cause of great distress or annoyance to the
internet, cyber-crime refers to any and all illegal activities carried out using
technology. Cyber-crime is criminal activity that either targets or uses a
computer, a computer network or a networked device. Cyber-crime is carried
out by individuals or by any organizations.

A generalized definition of cyber-crime may be “unlawful acts wherein

contacted to eachother and may never come into direct contact. Cyber-criminals
can commence cyber crimes from any country where there are weak cyber-
crime laws in order to reduce the chances of detection and prosecution.

from or against a computer or network.” Cyber or Computer crimes are white-
