EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION:

Cybercrime is rising rapidly in India. Developing economies such as India face unique cybercrime
risks. This project examines cybercrime and cybersecurity in India. The literature on which this
project draws is diverse, encompassing the work of economists, criminologists, institutionalists and
international relations theorists. We develop a framework that delineates the relationships of formal
and informal institutions, various causes of prosperity and poverty and international relations related
aspects with cybercrime and cybersecurity and apply it to analyse the cybercrime and cybersecurity
situations in India. The findings suggest that developmental, institutional and international relations
issues are significant to cybercrime and cybersecurity in developing countries.

in India. The findings suggest that developmental, institutional and international relations issues are
significant to cybercrime and cybersecurity in developing countries.

The widespread use of mobile devices that enable Internet access increases the exposure of both
individuals and organizations to cybercrime. This article addresses the issue of strategic prevention of
cybercrime with the key focus on the measures to prevent cybercrime related to children and teenagers.
The primary tool for such prevention is undoubtedly education aimed at establishing greater awareness
and knowledge regarding illegal Internet content and cybercrime among children and teenagers, as
well as parents and educators. As many children have Smartphones, special attention should be paid to
Smartphones and other mobile devices.

New technologies create new criminal opportunities but few new types of crime. What distinguishes
cybercrime from traditional criminal activity? Obviously, one difference is the use of the digital
computer, but technology alone is insufficient for any distinction that might exist between different
realms of criminal activity. Criminals do not need a computer to commit fraud, traffic in child
pornography and intellectual property, steal an identity, or violate someone’s privacy. All those
activities existed before the “cyber” prefix became ubiquitous. Cybercrime, especially involving the
Internet, represents an extension of existing criminal behaviour alongside some novel illegal activities.
Most cybercrime is an attack on information about individuals, corporations, or governments.
Although the attacks do not take place on a physical body, they do take place on the personal or
corporate virtual body, which is the set of informational attributes that define people and institutions
on the Internet.

So, I went to Guntakal to some random houses and talk to them about the cyber security, the threat
which can occur to them if they don’t know about the cyber security and I thought them they things
which we should do to prevent us for cyber hackers”.

learning objectives and outcomes

B. Crimes against Property:

As there is rapid growth in the international trade where businesses and consumers are increasingly
using computers to create, transmit and to store information in the electronic form instead of traditional
project documents.

There are certain offences which affects person s properties which are as follows:

Intellectual Property Crimes:

Intellectual property consists of a bundle of rights. Any unlawful act by which the owner is deprived
completely or partially of his rights is an offence. The common form of IPR violation may be said to
be software piracy, infringement of copyright, trademark, patents, designs and service mark violation,
theft of computer source code, etc.

Cyber Vandalism:

Vandalism means deliberately destroying or damaging property of another. Thus cyber vandalism
means destroying or damaging the data when a network service is stopped or disrupted. It may include
within its purview any kind of physical harm done to the computer of any person. These acts may take
the form of the theft of a computer, some part of a computer or a peripheral attached to the computer.

Hacking Computer System:

Hacktivism attacks those included Famous Twitter, blogging platform by unauthorized access/control
over the computer. Due to the hacking activity there will be loss of data as well as computer. Also
research especially indicates that those attacks were not mainly intended for financial gain too and to
diminish the reputation of particular person or company.

Transmitting Virus:

Viruses are programs that attach themselves to a computer or a file and then circulate themselves to
other files and to other computers on a network. They usually affect the data on a computer, either by
altering or deleting it. Worm attacks plays major role in affecting the computerize system of
individuals.

Cyber Trespass:

Internet without the other person's knowledge. You can identify time theft if your Internet time has to
be recharged often, despite infrequent usage.

C. Cybercrimes against Government

governments by using internet facilities. It includes:

Cyber Terrorism:

Cyber terrorism is a major burning issue in the domestic as well as global concern. The common form
of these terrorist attacks on the Internet is by distributed denial of service attacks, hate websites and
hate e-mails, attacks on sensitive computer networks etc. Cyber terrorism activities endanger the
sovereignty and integrity of the nation.

Cyber Warfare:

It refers to politically motivated hacking to damage and spying. It is a form of information warfare
sometimes seen as analogous to conventional warfare although this analogy is controversial for both its
accuracy and its political motivation.

Distribution of pirated software:

It means distributing pirated software from one computer to another intending to destroy the data and
official records of the government.

Possession of Unauthorized Information:

It is very easy to access any information by the terrorists with the aid of internet and to possess that
information for political, religious, social, ideological objectives.

Analysis Of Cybercrimes In India:

India is the second largest online market in the world with over 560 million internet users, Ranked
only behind China. And it is estimated that by 2023, there would be over 650 million internet users in
the country. According to the latest national crime records bureau NCRB data, a total of 27, 248 cases
of cybercrime where registered in India in 2018.

In Telangana, 1205 cybercrime cases where registered in the same year. According to FBIs report,
India stands third among top 20 cybercrime victim. The national cybercrime reporting portal
(cybercrime.gov.in) which was started last year by the central government received 33,152 complaints
till now resulting in lodging of 790 FIRs.

In fact, according to a 2017 report, Indian consumers had lost over 18 billion US dollars due to
cybercrimes. In 2018, there were over 27,000 cases of cybercrimes recorded in the country, marking
an increase of over 121% compare to the number of the cases as two years back.

Cybercrimes are- Phishing scams, identity theft scams, online harassment, cyber stalking, invasion of
privacy.

Origin Of Cyber Crime

At the beginning of 1970s, criminal regularly committed crimes via telephone lines. The perpetrators
were called Phreakers. Actually, there was no real cybercrime until the 1980s. One person had another
persons computer to find, copy or manipulate personal data and information. The first person to be
found guilty of cybercrime was Lan Murphy, also known as Captain Zap, and that happened in the
year 1981.He had hacked the American telephone company to manipulate its internal clock, so that
users could still make free calls at peak times.

Cyber Laws:

Cybercrimes are a new class of crimes which are increasing day by day due to extensive use of internet
these days. To combat the crimes related to internet The Information Technology Act, 2000 was
enacted with prime objective to create an enabling environment for commercial use of I.T. The IT Act
specifies the acts which have been made punishable. The Indian Penal Code, 1860 has also been
amended to take into its purview cybercrimes.

The various offenses related to internet which have been made punishable under the IT Act and the
IPC are enumerated below:

1.Cybercrimes under the IT Act:

o Tampering with Computer source documents - Sec.65

 RECOMMENDATION

Using anti-virus or a comprehensive internet security solution like Kaspersky Total Security is a smart
way to protect your system from attacks. Anti-virus software allows you to scan, detect and remove
threats before they become a problemCybercrime is criminal activity that either targets or uses a
computer, a computer network or a networked device. Most cybercrime is committed by
cybercriminals or hackers who want to make money. However, occasionally cybercrime aims to
damage computers or networks for reasons other than profit. These could be political or
personal.Cybercrime can be carried out by individuals or organizations. Some cybercriminals are
organized, use advanced techniques and are highly technically skilled. Others are novice hackers.
Cybercriminals that target computers may infect them with malware to damage devices or stop them
working. They may also use malware to delete or steal data. Or cybercriminals may stop users from
using a website or network or prevent a business providing a software service to its customers, which
is called a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack.Cybercrime that uses computers to commit other crimes
may involve using computers or networks to spread malware, illegal information or illegal images
 CONCLUSION

We are living in a digital age and cyberspace is not limited to one's boundaries, rather it covers an
entire world. As a result, cybercrime is increasing day by day in all the countries including India. The
biggest challenge relates to cybercrime being its dynamic nature because of the ongoing evolution of
digital technology. As a result, new cybercrime methods and techniques come into practice.
Therefore, cybercrime should be given as much importance as other crime happening in our society be
it theft, rape, murder etc

Preliminary research displayed a need for additional education regarding the dangers of cybercrime
and the importance of information safety for all target groups. In order to successfully address the
issue of cybercrime, it is important to implement successful preventive techniques in all target groups.
Therefore, we concluded that continuous education plays an important role in raising the awareness of
all users and in encouraging them to implement preventive techniques in everyday life. In order to
evaluate the effects of the educational module implementation, an evaluation will be performed
following the conclusion of each educational module. Through implementation of these educational
modules targeting the youngest Internet users, we will be making the first step toward the creation of
an information security culture.
