Establishing The Role of Cyber Forensic for Determining Cybercrime in India: A Study
Surbhi Choudhary
ABSTRACT
Cybercrime has become a pervasive threat in India, with a wide range of activities, including financial fraud, data theft, and intellectual property infringement.
Cyber forensic investigations play a crucial role in identifying, collecting, preserving, and analyzing digital evidence to determine the perpetrators of cybercrimes. This study aims to explore the significance of cyber forensic techniques in establishing the role of individuals or groups involved in cybercriminal activities within the Indian context. By examining various case studies and analyzing the effectiveness of existing cyber forensic frameworks, the research seeks to identify challenges and opportunities for enhancing cyber forensic capabilities in India to combat cybercrime effectively.
Cybercrime has emerged as a significant threat to individuals, businesses, and nations worldwide. India, with its rapidly growing digital landscape, is particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks. To effectively combat cybercrime, robust investigation techniques are essential. Cyber forensics, a specialized field that applies scientific and investigation techniques to digital evidence, plays a crucial role in this regard.
Cybercrime is a serious problem in India. People use computers to do bad things like stealing money, stealing information, and copying things that don't belong to them. To catch these bad people, we need to look at their computers. This is called "cyber forensics." We can find clues on their computers that show who did the bad things. Moreover, cyber forensics aids in the reconstruction of cyberattacks . By analyzing the digital footprints left behind by the attacker, experts can determine the techniques employed, the extent of the damage caused, and the potential vulnerabilities exploited.
Key Words: Cyber forensics, cybercrime, digital evidence , cyberattacks.
