There is
a very old and correct saying that goes on to say that a coin has two sides.
Like a coin almost every aspect of life has two sides. For example the most
common example can be taken of the advent of technology and the crime
associated with it. With the advent of time and technology, computers have
formed an integral part of the working society. Computers along with them have
brought greater work and time efficiency in the working circle of the society
as a whole. But there comes the twist. Along with all the benefits that
computers and technology have brought, there also comes the rising and alarming
threat of cyber crime.
Cyber
crime in recent times has been credited along with a lot of attention by the
general public, thanks to the almost impossible crimes committed by the
hackers. The dangers that cyber crime is posing to computers and information in
computers has been acknowledged by almost all the countries. Serious concern
and alarm have been raised against the growing threat of cyber crime and its
potential threat to the information possessed in the computers. The reason that
cyber crime is posing a serious threat, is because of the reason that most
countries around the world have no existing law that they can exert against
cyber crimes. This leaves the businessmen and their business at the mere mercy
of the technology that is being used by the businessmen in their business.
The only
resort that the individuals have or can take against cyber crime is the way of
self protection. Although self protection is the one step that people can take
against cyber crimes, but still unfortunately it’s not a full proof safe step.
As hackers can easily hack through the computers of others, this makes the
information stored in the computer more vulnerable to information leakage. One
main reason why cyber crime has been gathering so much of attention, is because
of the fact that cyber crime has no boundaries of working or occurring. Cyber
crime have been reportedly breaching national barriers at ease there by
jeopardizing the political and the defense strategies of the country in front
of the other nations, as it has been reported that after committing the crime
the hackers sell the leaked information to the rival countries for money.
The other
reason as to why cyber crime is posing a serious threat is because of the fact
that it is usually very hard to track the hackers as they operate together but
from far and different places, making it harder for the law enforcers to track
and find them. These hackers usually operate from different and far off places,
sometimes even different countries making it almost impossible for anyone to
track them.
Thus
national bodies and governments should operate together to make a legal framework
and structure through which no hackers can slip through after committing cyber
crime.
