Digital crimes

The increasing rate of cybercrimes in Pakistan is worrisome. Cybercrime is the fast growing felonies which is hard to detect. People are increasingly becoming victims of abuse on social media sites. The most common types of cybercrimes include hacking, online scams, fraud, cyber stalking, identity theft and much more. The advancement of technology has increased the volume of cybercrime.

Rather than making a good and constructive use of information technology, people are more interested in its misuse. Many developed countries have introduced different policies and laws to restrain the destructive use of cyber facilities, but in Pakistan there is still a lack of proper system to deal with this. After passing many bills still the government has failed to overcome from this crime. Cybercrime cell receives 10 to 12 complaints daily. To control crime, the law is the only tool. Serious steps have to be taken in order to solve these crimes, so that people feel secure while using the internet.
