Abstract
Today we are living in the era of information technology where most of the activities of the private and public are dealt with the online transactions with the help of World Wide Web (www.) Anybody can access another via internet through online transaction. The entire world has become one global village. The people are connected closely with the help of internet and intranet. The internet has both uses and misuses. It is unfortunate to note that the internet is being misused by some of the criminals who use the hacking methods and blackmail the World Wide Web organisers and internet protocol users. Such criminals resort to the cyber crimes that use unauthorised access to the other’s networks. Such criminal activities come under the concept of cyber crimes [1]. At this juncture the ‘Cyber Law’ comes to the rescue of the aggrieved. Hence, the Cyber Law was introduced in the Indian legal domain. Cyber Law deals with the crimes through internet, cyberspace and addresses the computer related legal issues and corresponding punishments. Cyber Law also addresses the sub themes such as freedom of expression, access and utilization of internet, security via online including privacy. To put it in a short way it is termed a ‘the Law of the Web’ [2].

‘Phishing’ is a form of internet fraud. In a case of ‘Phishing’, a person pretending to be a legitimate association such as a bank or an insurance company in order to extract personal data from a user such as access codes, passwords etc. which are then used to his own advantage, misrepresents on the identity of the legitimate party. Typically ‘Phishing’ scams involve persons who pretend to represent online banks and siphon cash from e-banking accounts after conning consumers into handing over confidential banking details
