Respected Mr.Narendra Modiji,
Hearty congratulations for your grand victory in Loksabha
polls. The contribution social media played in your victory may be debated on
many forums hence forth but you were the most prominent political leader who
used it to optimal. The result of such canvassing through social media may be
one of the factors which lead to your exceptional success.
So it’s proven fact that youths of India are well responsive
to social media. If some statistics are to believed then @60% of the teens,
almost all youths, @40% middle aged persons and 20% senior citizens in India
are connected to various online activities may it be mobiles, social media
,e-banking , online shopping so on and so forth.
But there is darker side of this online activity which should
not be derelict. Today online activities are becoming very perilous and
precarious to be relied upon. The Cyber Criminals are using this medium for
their proceeds and ordinary, ill-educated and ill-equipped users are very easily
falling in various traps. There are national as well as international cyber
criminals and also state sponsored cyber criminals involved in most of these
activities who are technologically more sophisticated equipped and backed by
certain groups/organisation or even states.
May it be lottery mail, phishing fraud, banking fraud or
credit card fraud the loss is only pecuniary in nature. But when it extends to
defamation, pornography, abuse, extortion the consequences become more severe
in nature and even lead to loss of life. And through web jacking, posting something
which may lead to communal tension or communal hatred, Denial of service
attacks on government websites there can be internal disturbances or tense
relations with neighboring states or even cyber war within the globe and
overall outcome would be huge loss of life or even threat to sovereignty of our
motherland.
This is cause of worry for a common netizen like me because
none of the people at high places are yet convinced that CYBER CRIMINLAS are
capable of causing damages to this much extent. They have even failed to
acknowledge CYBER CRIME as a serious and most eminent threat to sovereignty and
integrity of the state. Forget about diagnosing the root cause of this
possibility and preparing themselves for providing the much needed solutions.
This sheer apathy towards registration, investigation and
subsequent arrests and trials in the matters of CYBER CRIMES by LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES, have raised morals of Cyber criminals very high and demoralized
entire community of cyber crime victims. And this is the situation I am most
worried for!!!!!!
This e-mail is an effort to draw your and in turn of all the
concerned bureaucracy’s attention towards most burning issue called as CYBER
CRIMES.
It’s too early to expect some action from my prime minister
but I am confident that my Prime Minister will certainly take a decisive action
in curbing CYBER CRIMES by speedy and simplified registration procedure for
CYBER CRIMES, proper investigation with aid of cyber forensics techniques
available and speedy trials for putting these Cyber Criminals behind the bar.
Also there should be nation wide CYBER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN to make netizens
aware about inherent threats in online activities and make them prepared to fight
the same and also available remedy in case some untoward incidence happens.
With the only intention of MAKING CYBERSPACE SECURE FOR ONE
AND ALL, this small favor is sought from an ordinary netizen
Thanking you
Yours Sincerely
ADVOCATE
