Abstract


Cybercrime has increased exponentially in conjunction with the introduction and widespread use of electronic medium. This is not just confined to one area, but rather is occurring worldwide.

Some sort of public policy must be adopted, according to individuals, educational institutions, organizations and corporations who are interested in combating this wave of crime.
