The evolution of technology has opened new avenues of progress for mankind. However, the pitfall of technological advancements is the emergence of a new area of crime whereby a computer or a network is employed for criminal purposes.

Cybercrime is a niche legal area, evolving at an alarmingly fast pace. It is defined as: “Offenses that are committed against individuals or groups of individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause physical or mental harm, or loss, to the victim directly or indirectly, using modern telecommunication networks such as Internet (networks including social media, chat rooms, emails, notice boards and groups) and mobile phones (Bluetooth/SMS/MMS)”.
