Cyber crime refers to criminal activity involving computers and the internet. It includes activities like fraud, hacking, and distributing obscene content online. There is no universally agreed upon definition of cyber crime due to the broad and evolving nature of crimes committed through electronic means. Cyber crimes can be committed across geographical boundaries and with minimal resources compared to traditional crimes. The Information Technology Act of India defines and punishes various cyber crimes like hacking, privacy breaches, and distributing obscene content electronically. Both the IT Act and Indian Penal Code can apply to cyber crimes depending on the nature of the offense.
