A STUDY ON INDIA'S CYBER LAW AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACT

IT is concerned with information systems, data storage, access, retrieval, analysis, and intelligent decision making. The term "information technology" refers to the generation, gathering, processing, storing, presenting, and disseminating of information, as well as the procedures and devices that make this possible. The misuse of technology has necessitated the establishment and implementation of cyber laws. Computers now play a significant role in practically every crime perpetrated. Citizens should not believe that cybercrime is on the decline, and they should understand that with each passing day, cyberspace becomes a more dangerous place to be in, where criminals wander freely to carry out their illegal intents, aided by the so-called anonymity that the internet affords. The paper focuses on new legislation that can encompass all aspects of cybercrime and should be approved in order to eliminate legal grey spots.
