Women: An Easy Trap for Cybercriminals

Janki Srivastava

Abstract: Women play a vital role in the development of the country. We can see them in every front of life, professional or personal life! The COVID-19 pandemic has affected living conditions and people tried to adapt to the changing situation that is the ?new normal?. Technology has gained a lot of importance and space in everyone?s life. It is a matter of concern that when people spend a lot of time online, they are vulnerable to cybercrime. People, when spending time online must be aware of their cyber safety, especially women. The cybercrime rate is increasing due to the unawareness of women. The present paper investigates the cybercrime risk of women. It was found that women are vulnerable to cybercrime and there is a lot of scope for creating awareness. The government is taking many initiatives, but women are not aware of the initiatives. There is a need to bridge the gap between women and awareness programs to make them more knowledgeable in the cyber world.
