A rapid increase in the use of computer and internet has given rise to new forms of crimes. So, penal provisions are required to be included in the Information Technology Act, the Indian Penal Code, the Indian Evidence Act and the Code of Criminal Procedure to prevent such crimes. Cyber crimes can involve criminal activities that are traditional in nature, such as theft, fraud, forgery, defamation and mischief, all of which are subject to the Indian Penal Code. The abuse of computers has also given birth to a gamut of new age crimes that are addressed by the Information Technology Act, 2000. The information Technology Act was enacted in the year 2000.Threats emanate from a wide variety of sources, and their effects carry significant risk for public safety, the security of nations and the stability of the globally linked international community as a whole. The origin, identity of the perpetrator, or motivation for the disruption can be difficult to ascertain. Threat actors can operate with substantial impunity from virtually anywhere. Many malicious tools and methodologies originate in the efforts of criminals and hackers. The growing sophistication and scale of criminal activity increases the potential for harmful actions. The legal defense to prevent and control of the Cyber Crime under Information Technology ACT, 2008, Indian Penal Code 1860 and some suggestions are to be explored in this Research paper.
