Meanwhile international community has become serious
to tackle cyber crimes and illicit networks. Google and Interpol have
decided to fight back terrorism and illicit networks using their
technology.
Similarly, Europol would lead a project that would
collaborate upon cyber crime intelligence capabilities across the
world. Many African countries are also working on the direction
of formulating cyber laws for their respective countries.
India has formulated its cyber law in the year 2000
when it enacted the information technology act 2000 (IT Act 2000).
However, with the passage of time it was required to be suitably
amended. India failed to achieve this crucial task and is now facing
a situation that if not tackled immediately would bring adverse
effects to its economy.
In fact leading techno legal experts like Praveen
Dalal, managing partner of ICT law firm Perry4Law,
believe that cyber
law of India should be repealed and a better cyber law
must be urgently enacted to tackle the growing menace of cyber crimes
and cyber attacks against India.
It is high time for Indian legislature to take
notice of this situation and enact suitable laws for India that can
take care of cyber crimes, cyber attacks and critical infrastructure
protection in India.
