Abstract:

Cybercrimes are said to be on the rise as a result of the internet's growing reach, the quick spread of mobile information, the growing use of social media, and the increasing integration of the online world into our daily lives. Cybercrime can be broadly defined as any activity that involves the use of computers and the internet to obtain personal information from individuals, either directly or indirectly, and then posting that information online against the law or without the individual's knowledge or consent in order to harm the individual's reputation or cause them physical or emotional distress. The frequency of recorded cybercrimes has sharply increased in tandem with technological advancement. Growing dependence on the Internet is correlated with an increase in cybercrimes targeting women. The main causes of this are that more than 50% of internet users have insufficient training and education, are unaware of technological advancements, and do not understand how online platforms function. For this reason, stopping cybercrime has become the top concern for law enforcement authorities around the world dedicated to protecting women and children who are harassed and mistreated for voyeuristic reasons. Targeting women through impersonation, cyberpornography, cyberstalking, etc. is widespread. India is one of the few countries that has enacted the IT Act 2000 to combat cybercrimeand protect women from being exploited by hazardous predators. However, issues impacting women continue to skyrocket, and the act fails to address some of the most serious risks to women's security.
