The advent in the cyberspace has revolutionized in terms of connecting & interacting globally. The accessibility, secrecy, accountability, integrity, seclusion of one’s own space, and the interactive, responsive nature of communications over the web has made the users far less inhibited than before especially about the contents of their messages.[15] The web has made it far easier than ever before to disseminate defamatory statements to a worldwide audience with impunity. Also committing terrorism over cyberspace has become more sophisticated with time. There have been proposed several provisions under Indian Penal Code & IT Act, 2000 for cyber defamation as well as several convictions have been made for cyber terrorism.[12,13] India is well aware of the devastating effects of cyber attack and has thus implementing audacious measures to improve its security structure.
