In 1820, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a textile manufacturer in France, produced
loom. This device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in the weaving of
special fabrics. This resulted in a fear amongst Jacquard's employees that their
traditional employment and livelihood were being threatened. They committed
acts of sabotage to discourage Jacquard from further use of the new
technology. This is the first recorded cyber crime!

An important question arises that how can these crimes be prevented. A number
of techniques and solutions have been presented but the problems still exists and
are increasing day by day.
 Antivirus And Anti Spyware Software:
Аntivirus software consists of computer programs that attempt to
identify, thwart and eliminate computer viruses and other malicious
software.
Anti spywares are used to restrict backdoor program, trojans and
other spywares to be installed on the computer.
 Firewalls:
Protects a computer network from unauthorized access.
may be hardware devices, software programs, or a combination of the
two. typically guards an internal computer network against malicious

36. As someone rightly said that “bytes are replacing bullets in the crime world”.
The growth of cyber crime in India, as all over the world, is on the rise and to curb its
scope and complexity is the pertinent need today. India’s profile and wealth have
risen enormously in the world due to the constructive use of information technology.
At the same time, India ranks fourth in the world for cyber crime. Even under the IT
Act, investigations in India are not easy. This is mainly due to the lack of what is called
“cyber forensics.” We know that forensic evidence is important in normal criminal
investigations. But the collection and presentation of electronic evidence to prove
cyber crimes have posed a challenge to investigation and prosecution agencies and the
judiciary.
To sum up, India needs a good combination of laws and technology, in
harmony with the laws of other countries and keeping in mind common security
standards. In the era of e-governance and e-commerce, a lack of common security
standards can create havoc for global trade as well as military matters.
