The anxiety of recession is shelling all over the world and some one rightly said “world suffers from pneumonia when United States catches the cold”.These days the world as a whole is facing the economic concerns which have gained an utmost importance.Due to the rising economic peril the world at large is loosing the focus on cyber security. This is the prime factor of which the cyber predators are taking advantage. Due to the economic threats desperate innocent people are falling prays to such cyber predators.A report has been published by a imminent Antivirus Company wherein it emphasises on concentrated international efforts to fight against the malicious cyber activities otherwise there is a gigantic threat of cyber crimes having brutal impact on the economy in current year. The above mentioned report published by the imminent Antivirus Company has expressed its deep concerns to the following cyber threats to the economy as a whole –BE RICH IN NO TIME –Cyber punks are taking undue advantage of fretfulness of end users who wants to get rich quick by luring them by making false promises of easy money which are actually scams. Cyber Criminals induces the innocent people to visit the website wherein the Cyber Criminals are adding malicious code to websites, also inducing people to reveal confidential information and to invest into the scams initiated by such criminals.Simultaneously the Job market is getting extreme frantic, distracted job seekers are being used as ‘money mules’ to launder by recruiting by cyber criminals.These innocent job seeks are being recruited as ‘international sales representatives’ or ‘shipping managers’.With the economic downturn driving more people are looking forward to the web for the “best deals”, opportunist cyber criminals attack on such people who are most easy targets to drawn in.SIDETRACKED GOVERNMENTS –As per the report published, governments are also being sidetracked and forcibly focusing on the economic downturn to tackle the problems arising out of the economic downturn. The fight against cybercrime slips down their agenda which is creating an opportunity for cybercrime to escalate in severity.THE CYBERCOP SHORTAGE –Police forces on the front line are getting updated with the specialist skills required to effectively fight cyber crime. Police personals are showing great interest in learning, acquiring the specialist skills required combating cyber crimes and making extra efforts to curb the cyber criminals but the absence of dedicated and ongoing training, sufficient remuneration is serving cyberspooks to rob the private sector or to be lured into underground economies, a report says.ANONYMOUS CRIMINALS –Internet traffic is often re-routed as a red herring causing considerable misdirection in the origin of attacks which helps criminals to be anonymous.CDAC had successfully developed the country’s first set of indigenous cyber forensic tools for law enforcers combating computer, mobile phone, Internet and other digital devices related crime.STORAGE OF INFORMATION –Crimes in the Cyber Space are swelling. Law enforcement are bound by physical national boundaries, while cyber criminals are working as combine forces swiftly across borders.Local issues and priorities obviously take precedence over global efforts and international laws are being implemented with regional variations that hold back the ability to negotiate jurisdiction and extradition process between countries.Global economic recession has opened another door for cyber criminals to continue their illegal activities and cause potential damage to the world at large making scenario worst.This is the global battle against the cyber crime everyone who operates and uses the computer with the help of Governments, bureaucratic bodies and police must play their part in this global battle.Regards,Tushar KaleTusharcons®Advocates, High CourtConsultants Cyber Laws, Trademarks, Copyrights, Designs and Realty Laws
