ABSTRACT:
Cybercrime refers to actions that use computer systems and the internet as a tool to obtain private information about a person without the person's knowledge & disclose it on online platforms to damage the person's reputation or cause them mental or physical harm. The rate of cybercrimes has increased as a result of technological advancement. Internet crimes have increased along with our growing reliance on the internet. This is mostly because more than half of online users have inadequate training and education, are unaware of technical changes, and are not completely aware of how online platforms operate. India is one of the few nations that passed the IT Act 2000 to address concerns linked to cybercrimes and prevent their exploitation. However, this act ignores some of the most serious threats to security and challenges that are still rapidly expanding in the current era. Secondary data was acquired for the research paper. The aim is to better understand the idea, its application, and its impact on the economy through various dimensions.
Keywords: Cybercrime, Strategies and Challenges in India, Cyber Law, IT Act 2000.
