Abstract

According to a recent research, the current trend of cybercrime is largely dominated by the crime against the individual. These kinds of crime include cyberstalking, fake Id, nude pictures/videos, email hacking etc. People especially females are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Recently a study shows that so many underaged and minor girls and other female victims committed suicide after their private photos and videos were uploaded on the internet. The paper argues the question is how the diverse concerns of the government match up with the specialized security needs of their female citizens, who are the most vulnerable one. This is the high time to initiate and being vocal against cyber-crime and being more protective on this crime and being aware against this crime as globally this crime is increasing and has become the most sustainable and devastating crime against state, individual, mass and last but not the least mental, socio-cultural and economic stability when the victims are the women.
