Cyber Laws are contained in the IT Act, 2000, and the Act aims to provide the legal infrastructure for E-commerce in India. The main objective of writing this manual is to present the complicated provisions of Cyber Laws in a simplified and concise manner. The manual provides helpful information from various disciplines, including criminology and information technology. Because of the diversity of backgrounds of potential readers, this manual presumes no prior knowledge of the technical aspects of cybercrime – key concepts in both areas are defined as they arise in the following chapters. The chapters consider research conducted in each room but also apply practical examples and models to each type of cybercrime. The chapters also consider many spects of each cybercrime – they do not simply consider the offender but also the effects on the victims ,a suitable

punishments, potential preventative measures and comparisons to similar offline offences. The need for this Manual appears obvious as more people access the Internet and engage in online activities, including the trade of goods and services, banking transactions, and credit card purchases, as the size of cyberspace continues to expand. However, by taking advantage of flaws in various gadgets, thieves use the same networks to perform cybercrimes that also impact the real world. Cybercriminals commit identity theft and financial fraud, steal intellectual property from companies, undertake espionage to obtain military and state secrets, and enlist the help of other criminals to carry out physical terrorist operations around the globe. The impacts of cyber-attacks are similar to those of terrorist attacks in physical space since they are used to interfere with crucial infrastructures like financial and air traffic control systems India sees a significant increase in cybercrime. Incidents of malware, spam, and phishing arealso on the rise.

The manual intends to fulfil the purpose of educating college students and women about the meaning of cybersecurity. The team would like to thank Dr. Kalpeshwar Gupta and ProBono India for their contribution with the handbook.
