Cyber-crime Scenario in Different Sectors of Bangladesh

Law

Cyber and technology related crime is gradually increasing in Bangladesh. It is a significant issue in Bangladesh. It has already been seen that a glomming threat becomes visible in the arena of information technology. Recently the hacking of RAB website, ATM card skimming, Bangladesh Bank heist, Terrorist Activities in social Medias are few examples of them. In addition, Cyber bullying is becoming a major concern for parents on the subject of their children using the internet as majority of students in Bangladesh have experienced being bullied or disturbed online or being bullied by the same person both online or offline. Moreover, cybercrime is becoming a threat to government itself. Due to lack of necessary legislation to tackle such type of crime, cyber criminals are almost in the safe side to commit such crime. In the Information and Communication Technology Act-2006 and ICT (Amendment) Act-2013 there are several clauses against cybercrime. But this Information and Communication Technology act is not the concrete one. By enacting this act, there is a chance to become safe side after committing crimes. So, considering these facts a comprehensive Cybercrime Protection Act should be imposed. This research work incorporates the recent trend and issues of cybercrime in Bangladesh especially focus on the area of Personal life, Workplace as well as Policy making Bodies or Thinkers. I believe that this work would help all relevant concerns and especially policy makers.
