After taking a hard look at the rising cyber crimes, the CBI has stressed the need for international cooperation preferably through “treaty-mediated regime” and also based on police to police cooperation to detect and plug the sophisticated cyber deception.

According to CBI’s Special Director M L Sharma, combating cyber crime requires enabling legislation which takes into account all the nuances of information technology crimes. India is one of the early starters in creating a legal framework by enacting the Information Technology Act, 2000, which defines cyber offences and prescribes punishment for them.

The CBI special director was of the view that all countries need to have appropriate legal framework. besides standardisation in the definition of offences and standard operating procedures for easy collection and better sharing of evidence among them.
