Computer Crimes and the Act

[Perfection]

The Indian Penal Code (IPC) was amended according to the IT Act 2000. Amendments include making false electronic record, forgery (for purpose of cheating, of Court or public register etc, for purpose of harming reputation), forged electronic record, falsification accounts.

India needs more computer savvy police, lawyers, judiciary and computer forensic experts who can help prevent, detect and fight these crimes. Forensic experts do the following :

1. make the equipment operate properly;
2. retrieve information;
3. unblock "deleted" or "erased" data storage devices;
4. bypass or defeat passwords;
5. decipher encrypted data.

Perfection, thank you for posting this information. To all on here: keep in mind that although this seems to cover everything, I personally know that there's many many loopholes that make certain instances 100% legal... You just need to know how and when to get out of a situation. Alot of things require that the defaulter know what he's doing, and, purposfully intends to damage the system in some way... If said defaulter does not plan to harm anyone of any information, etc, or.. the prosocutor cannot prove beyond resonable doubt, that such was the intent, than the trial must be dismissed..

Just my two cents..
