Abstract:
In the age of the information society we live in, crimes committed using information technology (especially cybercrime) or those in which new technology plays an essential role are growing exponentially, and the fight against crimes committed via the Internet (not only cybercrime, but also cyber terrorism, cyber war, and other forms of cybercrime) represents a real challenge for the States, due to the unique characteristics of the means by which such crimes are committed. As a result, internet use has become an integral part of the lives of all educated people around the world. It connects a person sitting in a remote corner of their house or business to the rest of the globe via the information highway affectionately known as the web, cyber, and so on. It connects everyone to their office, banks, energy department, water works, transport services, markets, book stores, and friends from other countries, and it is ready to attack unsuspecting internet users with cyber attacks. In Bangladesh, cyber and technology-related crimes are on the rise. In Bangladesh, this is a critical issue. In the realm of information technology, it has already been observed that a bright threat has emerged. Recent e-mail threats to various individuals are an illustration of a handful of them. Cybercrime, on the other hand, is becoming a threat to the government itself. The broad and general goal of this study is to determine and define the nature of cybercrime, as well as the impact it has on those who utilize the Internet.
