DEFINITION Abstract - The internet connects linked networks worldwide. It eases data and information flow between different networks. Security issues have grown in importance as networks exchange data across distant locations. Some individuals exploit the internet for illegal acts like network breaches and fraud. These internet-related crimes go by the name "Cyber Crimes." We hear this term often in news reports due to the rising popularity of online banking and shopping. To combat and penalize cyber criminals, authorities created "Cyber Law." This law governs the web. It forms part of legal frameworks addressing the Internet, cyberspace, and related issues such as online security and privacy. This research conducted by Guru Nanak Dev University student splits into sections to achieve its goals. It presents a quick look at cybercrime's nature, its actors - hackers and crackers, and its various forms. The text also tracks how cyber laws evolved in India. It sheds light on these laws' workings and suggests ways to fight this high-tech crime in India. The chapter aims to give readers a clear picture of the cybercrime landscape and India's response to it.
