THE IMPACT 

Most of the cyber criminals commit cybercrime to make money by targeting individuals, the impact of this type of Cybercrime is that it is very difficult to pick out the person who did the illegal impact. The impact of Cybercrime can be devastating due to the high risk of data loss and financial impact. 

The impact of cybercrime mostly could be seen on individuals like giving a harassment call, data breaches, identity theft, malicious sites trafficking, etc. By using this all information, they start using the person's account for illegal activities and blackmailing them.


Cybercrime in IPC for sections are:

Section 425 mischief cause in which a person intentionally cause harm to another person

Section 379 theft a person who's intentionally stealing the other persons property, data or a thing true criminal act in an illegal way.

Section 319 and 320 cheating in which a person stole once password and used for a fraudulent purpose.

Section 292 sales obscene book

And to overcome from these criminal activities:

  1. we should always keep up to date to account like having a regular check of account, also update the system regularly.

  2. user kind of password which is unique and strong like including numbers, characters, symbols, ration for complexity.

  3. enable multifactor authentication means to keep a separate code while logging in an app, giving a text message aur getting a physical digital key that can connect to your device.

  4. Using a public Wi-Fi in public area, if you get connected to a Wi-Fi like in public area like restaurants, office. Over that you can use the free browser like tor which can secure communication from a network, to encrypt traffic and camouflage of what are you doing online. Using of virtual private network to encrypt all your internet traffic it will make the hacker difficult to spy on you aur l of wide range free and paid VPN options.


In short, we conclude that we should always be caution, towards a social networking site, and whenever any these types of Cybercrime take place an individual or in a group it needed to be reported as soon as possible, so that the cybercriminal could not perform the further crime with other individual persons. It is true that no person or an organisation or a computer get fully 100% percent secured but in today's time there are lot many technologies are there which can secure a person's identity without any fail, and the last thing is that a person should always be caution towards their online networking sites, their surroundings, always check to their accounts of bank, as well as their social networking accounts.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
