Abstract: Today we are living in the era of technology where most things are done by computers. With the emergence of technology especially in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are more likely to depend upon computers. With that increase in dependency, will also increase the chances of crime committed using technology. The crime committed through technology is termed as Cyber-Crime and if there is a crime then there must be a law which is known as Cyber Law. It contains various provisions relating to cyber-crime and their punishments. India has faced many such types of cyber-attacks in the past and still facing them in present. There is always some negative & positive aspect of something whether it?s a human or a materialistic object. Technology and Computers too have pros & cons as it has been well said that if technology comes into the hands of bad people, then it might have a detrimental effect on society as well as on mankind.
