Computer Crimes Act 1997

 

Section 4 of the Computer Crimes Act 1997 did cover for the offences related to unauthorized access with an intent to commit fraud. Although this is usually the case as the conmen would like to be anonymous in every possible way that he can, the access of other mediums, devices, web, page, etc. which are convenient to him (i.e. his own computer or social media account) is considered an authorized access. Committing fraud using 'authorized access' should also be covered by the law as this can also be the case. It is important to cover every aspect/area in the attempt and effort to stop and prevent such crimes.

Looking at the punishments imposed under subsection (3), the fine should be raised as the loss/damages in terms of amount caused by these frauds/scams are a lot higher. Thus necessary revision and amendments should be considered. The duration of imprisonment is considered fair.
