Book Description
The Internet has emerged as one of the most important means of communication in the modern period, and social networking sites account for a significant proportion of time spent online. In 2021, it is anticipated that there will be a total of 3.78 billion individuals utilising social media. As a result of more people using the internet and social media, cybersecurity has arisen as one of the most pressing problems that have surfaced over the course of the last few years. The internet has developed into a fundamental component of modern life, acting as the primary centre for effective communication in the modern age. Due to this, a range of cyber risks, such as hackers, wire fraud, and certain other types of damage, as well as black hat hackers, online harassment, and cyberattacks, have turned the internet into a vulnerability. It has been shown that social media sites include a variety of cyber threats. A higher level of awareness is associated with a smaller number of people reporting engaging in risky activities online. According to the National Investigation Agency's (NCRB) sources, social media platforms are used in one out of every six instances of online criminal activity in India. According to data released by the National Crime Records Bureau, there was an increase of around 70 per cent in the number of cybercrimes committed annually between 2013 and 2015.
