sufficient public debate, did not  really serve the desired
purpose
• Cyber laws, in their very preamble and aim, state that they are
targeted at aiding e-commerce, and are not meant to regulate
cybercrime
• Cyber torts
• Cyber crime in the Act is neither comprehensive nor exhaustive
• Ambiguity in the definitions
• Uniform law
• Lack of awareness
• Jurisdiction issues
• Extra territorial application
• Raising a cyber army
• Hesitation to report offences
HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS
PROBLEM
International Agreements and Cooperation –Essential
due to the Worldwide Nature of the Internet
Software and Hardware defenses
(e.g., antispam, antivirus software, firewalls)
Other practical steps….
 Avoid disclosing any information pertaining to
oneself.
 Avoid sending any photograph online particularly
to strangers.
 Use latest and up date anti virus software.
 Keep back up volumes.
 Never send your credit card number to any site
that is not secured.
 Use of firewalls may be beneficial.
 CONCLUSION
• The only possible step is to make people aware
of their rights and duties (to report crime as a
collective duty towards the society) and further
making the application of the laws more
stringent to check crime.
