Internet ne life easy bhi banayi hai aur complicated bhi. Cybercrime ab sirf Hollywood movie ka plot nahi, daily reality hai – phishing, hacking, identity theft, revenge porn, online stalking, ransomware, sab kuch.
Hacking broadly unauthorized access hai – chahe aap random system breach karo ya known person ka account break karo. Data theft me confidential business info, personal records, or financial details nikalna shamil ho sakta hai. Dono hi serious offences treat hote hain, jisme imprisonment, fines aur seizure tak possible hai.
Online harassment ka dimension log underestimate karte hain. Persistent abusive messages, doxxing (private info leak karna), fake profiles bana ke defame karna, non-consensual intimate images share karna – sab cyber laws ke under punishable ho sakte hain, aur parallel civil remedies (damages, injunctions) bhi available hote hain.
Victims ke liye practical steps:
- Evidence preserve karo – screenshots, URLs, headers, timestamps,
- Prompt complaint cyber cell, local police ya online portals pe file karo,
- Platform ko report features use karo takedown ke liye.
“Bas mazaak tha, online hi to hai” defence zyada din nahi chalega. Law treat karta hai digital acts ko as real as physical world, kabhi-kabhi to zyada damaging.
