Scenario of Cyber Crime activities in BD.

Development of Science and ICT depends on the expansion of telecommunication sector.This sector is still
under developed due to lack of deregulation and open competition. The impact of cyber crime is not
alarming Bangladesh because financial transactions have not yet been fully facilitated in online.But our
government still not aware of the fact . Internet services provided through the local area network are
vulnerable to similar attacks and intrusions by hackers more often when the security level is inadequate.Now
a day in Bangladesh some people send malicious mail to different foreign diplomatic Mission and other VIPs
which sometimes cause serious problem for the police and also for the government.
According to the Cyber Crime Investigation Centre at the police Criminal Investigation Department (CID),
different units of police work on cyber crime. However, only CID has a forensic lab to help detect or
investigate such crimes.
The unit received 25 complaints in 2013, when it started. Then in 2014, it increased to over 70. There were
217 complaints in 2015, 575 in 2016 and more than 600 complaints filed in 2017 up to just July. Among them,
the majority of complainants were women.

Legal fabric of Bangladesh regarding cyber-crimes

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act, 2006 came in force on 8 October, 2006.
Subsequently, the government amended the Act in 2008 and in 2009. For the better application of the Act,
the government passed Information Technology (Certificate Authority) rules in 2010. But these laws alone
are not enough. To face the challenges growing in cyber space it is essential to amend the existing laws such
as the Penal Code 1860, the Evidence Act 1872, the Contract Act 1872 etc. It is hoped that these Acts will be
modified in accordance with the demand of time. However, there are some provisions in the ICT Act, 2006
which mention penalties for various cyberspace related crimes. For instance, section 54 (1) of this Act
declares the offences concerning cyberspace. Then, section-54(2) says, “If any person commits offences
under sub-section (1) of this section, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend
to ten years, or with fine which may extend to taka ten lakhs, or with both”.

We can also look at section-56 which says-

“If any person—

(a) with the intent to cause or knowing that he is likely to cause wrongful loss or damage to the public or
any person, does any act and thereby destroys, deletes or alters any information residing in a computer
resource or diminishes its value or utility or affects it injuriously by any means;

(b) damage through illegal access to any such computer, computer network or any electronic system
which do not belong to him; then such activity shall be treated as hacking offence;

(c) whoever commits hacking offence under sub-section (1) of this section, he shall be punishable with
imprisonment for a term which may extend to ten years, or with fine which may extend to taka one crore , or
with both.”

We can see that law has taken the matter of cyber-crimes in consideration and there are some strict rules
regarding it.

Impact of Cybercrime on Society.

Crime as an Evil Factor of Society
crime is omnipresent phenomenon, and it is non-separable part of social existence, there is nothing new in crime as it
is one of the characteristic features of the all societies existed so far, may it be civilized or uncivilized, and it is one of
the basic instincts of all human behavior. In addition, some individuals are victims of crime in a more specific sense.The
victims of crime may lose anything that has value. Safety, peace, money, and property areperhaps basic values,
because they contribute to the satisfaction of many wishes.

Cyber Crime over Socio-Eco-Political Riders

crime is a dynamic and relative phenomenon and subjected to the relative sociopolitical & economical changes
occurring in existing system of society . population is one of the important factors influencing incidences of crimes. A
positive correlation between the growth in incidences of crime and the population of the country has been observed.
Besides population, the other factors influencing the crime are such as situation at a particular place, rate of
urbanization, migration of population. This clearly demonstrates that every definition of crime has correlation with the
socio-economical and political factors.

Impact of Cyber Crime over Teenager

These days a worst fear in teenager’s eyes is Cyber Bullying. It is become common over past five years, generally from
the age below eighteen are more susceptible and feared from Cyber Bullying as per inspection. It is becoming an
alarming trend in our society. As per inspection of data, the worst fear of cyber crime is on teenagers female. Cyber
Bullying is a fear when person receives threats, negative comments or negative pictures or comments from other
person.. Cyber Bulling can be done through chatting, instant messaging etc. Where website like Facebook, Orkut,
Twitter user are more affected from Cyber Bullying. In my analysis generally feared person can reach a limit of
depression, humiliation and threatens. Through this analysis we come to analyze that if person Bulled online he or she
may be depressed up to the level of self harming

Cyber Crime over Private Industry

The impact of cybercrime has serious financial consequences for businesses and government institutions. The report
shows that the median annualized cost of cybercrime for 50 organizations is $5.9 million per year, with a range of $1.5
million to $36.5 million each year per company. the impact of the cybercrime on the business of large size companies,
however a significant impact is observed on the small business where the companies face the cyber threats with fewer
resources and accepting the risks related to exposure

Way to protect cybercrimes

Keep everything up to date
Use strong, unique passwords
Enable multi-factor authentication
Encrypt and back up most important data
Be careful using public Wi-Fi
Never open attachments in spam emails
Keep software and operating system updated
Use anti-virus software and keep it updated
Do not give out personal information unless secure

Conclusion
Cyber crime is obviously the latest form of the crimes which is very difficult to suppress. But, its difficulty must not
prevent us from taking adequate measures against the cyber-criminals. Only law is not enough and so, we must nurture
ethics and morality in our private and communal lives. As our youngsters are prone to misdirection, they must be given
proper guidance and care. The state has to take all possible measures to thwart any kind of cyber-invasion which may
put the lives of people in danger. Continuous vigilance and upgrading counter-measures are some of the must-dos for
the government. Common people should also be careful in using computer systems and online facilities. Hopefully, our
awareness and constant battle against cyber-crime will result in success.
