CYBERCRIME AGAINST WOMEN IN INDIA
Keywords:
Cyber security,, Information Technology,, Cyber-CrimeAbstract
Indian civilization is one of the world's oldest civilizations. Women in India are been given as specific status in our country. They are treated as if they were goddesses. However, as society has modernized, these fundamental rights have been violated. In the realm of information technology, India is rapidly developing. People's day-to-day activities are increasingly reliant on computers. The year 2000 was a watershed moment in technological history. With the widespread use of computers, cybercrime is on the rise. Individuals' lifestyles have changed dramatically in this current era of globalization, and technological advancements have rendered man reliant on the internet for all of his requirements, either directly or indirectly.
Individuals' lifestyles and working situations have been influenced by the advancement of the internet in both positive and harmful ways. Cyber-crime has become an issue as a result of this increase in technology and internet-based lifestyle. Cyber-crime is described as an illegal conduct that involves the use of the internet and computer systems as a tool, a target, or both.
It can take many forms, including hacking, phishing, cyber terrorism, spoofing, stalking, data diddling, and so on. However, in terms of women's safety, when cyber-crime rises, "WOMEN" are disproportionately affected and become victims of cyber-crime such as pornography and cyber-stalking.
