designed for the physical world to human
activities on internet.

Publishing false digital signature certificates.
PREVENTION
Use hard to guess passwords
Use anti-virus software and firewalls-keep
them up to date
Don’t open email or attachments from
unknown sources
Back up your computer on disk or CD often
CONCLUSION
It is not possible to eliminate cyber crime from
the cyber space in its entirety. However, it is
quite possible to check it. Any legislation in its
entirety might be less successful in totally
eliminating crime from the globe. The primary
step is to make people aware of their rights
and duties and further making the application
of the laws more stringent to check crime.
However, in any draft legislation it is important
that the provisions of the cyber law are not
made so stringent that it may retard the
growth of the industry and prove to be counter
-productive.
THANK YOU
ALL!
