Types of Cyber Crimes & IPC Sections
Cyber Crime is not defined in Information Technology Act 2000 nor in the I.T. Amendment Act 2008
nor in any other legislation in India. In fact, it cannot be too. Offence or crime has been dealt with
elaborately listing various acts and the punishments for each, under the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and
quite a few other legislations too. Hence, to define cyber crime, we can say, it is just a combination of
crime and computer.
Different types of cybercrimes have different punishments in India.
