Abstract

We inhabit a rapidly developing world of shifting trends. Information Technology that was considered as a key contributor in progress of any country has evolved into a nightmare in form of Cyber Crimes. Despite proper legislation, most of such offences of less severe nature remain veiled in Pakistan. Deficient law enforcement and absence of an international treaty against Cyber Crimes helps Cyber Criminals skip unscathed. Study will focus on categorization of Cyber Crimes and legislation in Pakistan to cope with these crimes. We report some Cyber Crimes that still lie outside law jurisdictions in Pakistan and take a look at reported crimes in IT history of Pakistan.
