Answer 1

Answer:

here is your answer

Explanation:

Law does provide a remedy against most of the prevalent cyber crimes. ' Cyber crime' is not a defined term but a catch-all phrase attributable to any offence involving an internet device. Most of the cyber crimes are listed under the Information Technology Act (IT Act), 2000, which was amended in 2008.

However, this clarity vaporises with the realisation that IT Act is not the only enactment covering cyber crime. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) could also be called in to initiate prosecution against cyber crimes or to supplement the provisions of the IT Act. For instance, offences like hacking, data theft, virus attacks, denial of service attacks, illegal tampering with source codes including ransomware attacks could be prosecuted under S.66 r/w S.43 of the IT Act. Cases of forging a credit or debit card or even cloning a mobile SIM with dishonest or fraudulent intent to cause wrongful loss or wrongful gain could be prosecuted under IPC provisions (S.463 to S.471 IPC, as applicable).

Additions to the IT Act in 2008 protect against identity theft (S.66C) or cheating by impersonating online (S.66D). Victims of revenge porn may register complaints for violation of their privacy under S.66E as also under S.67 and S.67A IT Act in addition to IPC provisions. S.67A and S.67B also provide for prosecution of pornography and child pornography respectively. In case of the latter, the provisions of the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) may also be invoked.

As children are armed these days with cameras and data on their mobile phones and raging hormones at increasingly reducing, the instances of revenge porn attacks by children against children are on the rise. Irrespective of the age of the accused, if the offence of circulating sexually explicit content or violating privacy through dissemination of images or videos of private parts, is committed, the person is susceptible to prosecution.
