  • Government forms including income tax returns, company law forms etc are now filled in electronic forms.
  • most people are using email, cell phones and SMS message for communication.

Examples of cyber abuse on the users

  • harassment through e-mail.
  • hacking into school's database to charge your examination results.
Why we need cyberlaw
  1. Criminal activities can be brought to justice. If any criminal happen to customers, they can bring who.
  2. Cyber Laws are made to force people to be good, because individuals are more controlled by their passion and alone can't make them good, so laws were created to scare people in being 'good'.
  3. Customer is made to feel secure because bank protects their money.
  4. To give protection against the misuse of computers and computer criminal activities such as unauthorised use of programmes, illegal tranmission of data or messages over computers, hacking and cracking of computer systems and networks.
