                  Article: Cyber Crime

Cyber crime is any sort of criminal activity through computer or any networking device. It is done for the purpose of blackmailing. To abuse some one mentally, to generate finance and also for the purpose of spoiling some ones personal life. Cyber criminals use personal information for malicious purpose. In South Asia women and teenage girls are biggest victims of cyber crime. The problem is expanding day by day due to lower rate of strict action against the perpetrators of crime and very less regulations and prescribed law for stopping menace of this crime in developing countries such as Pakistan.

There are different types and forms of cyber crime:

Hacking:

The act of getting unauthorized access to computer system or group of computers. To access social media accounts and emails for purpose of blackmailing, to destroy someone reputation or to give any financial blow.

Cyberstalking:

To harass someone through social media platform and threat continuously.

Online identity theft:

To steal some ones personal information ( credit card and bank account information) through online means.

Online child abuse:

It is one of the most ferocious crime. It includes activities of downloading and selling child pornographic videos.

Ransomware attack:

It attacks the whole system and stops the data functioning. Then the perpetrator demands ransom to give the affected person access.

Internet fraud:

False representation of things to make money. For example: A fake charitable organization in the internet that intends to generate finance.

Such crimes have certain punishments according to the cyber crime law of Pakistan, few of which are mentioned below:

Spreading false information about an individual can result in up to 3 years in prison or up to one million rupees in fine, or both, if someone intentionally and publicly displays any information through any information system, which he or she knows to be false and by which he or or harms the reputation or privacy of a person.

So these are some of the kinds and punishments of cyber crimes. there are many frauds going in the world and especially in Pakistan of which people are not even much aware off. All these things have been the reasons of suicide, depression, social isolation. All these things harm the social reputation and in complex societies it has become a stigma for the people who are affected. Polies are needed at higher level to stop this heinous crime as it is affecting the growth as well as more of the illegal practices are encouraged through it. Pakistan and other countries of sub continent are far behind in establishing a system that can curb cyber crime. People are even unaware of these crimes that are needed to be educated enough. To curb this in Pakistan and other developing countries:

• An awareness program should be launched where people should be educated about different forms and types of crimes and the sort of negative impact it has on society and life of people. Through electronic media, newspaper and other tool people should be educated.

• Government should encourage people thought its programs to report these type of crimes and have to examples through taking action.

• Complete cyber crime act should be designed by the lawmakers of the country and pass that through parliament.

• All the codes should be clear and conveyed to public.

• Mandated cyber crime control agencies should be given modern tools and training to curb cyber crime and a help and reporting center should be established in lower level.

All this can be helpful to control these activities and save many people from cyber crime.
