An Analysis of Impacts and Future Aspects ofCybercrime in Different Sectors of Bangladesh
Keywords:
Cybercrime, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Information, TechnologyAbstract
Cybercrimes are defined as computer-related offenses, where understanding a computer system is crucial to committing the crime. In this century, the technology of the world is improving rapidly, and this rapid growth of technology is one of the major fuels of cybercrime. As a developing country, Bangladesh is not well developed enough in the sector of technology, which makes it vulnerable to cybercrime. As a result, Bangladesh faces a considerable amount of cybercrime every year, causing
damage to the economic sector, and public property, and sometimes wasting valuable work hours. For this reason, Bangladesh has already implemented the Information and Communication Technology Act 2006 and the Digital Security Act 2018, which have been replaced by the Cyber Security Act 2023, though those laws are not enough in the transforming field of technology.
Cybercrime and cybercriminals are becoming more dangerous day by day with the help of modern technology like artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science analytics, and blockchain technologies. To mitigate this threat, the world is trying so hard, and different countries are trying to combat the different types of threats they are facing. Countries like India, Pakistan, and America adopted the necessary dynamic approach in the implementation of law and policy making. So, to survive in this new world where artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are booming and technology is becoming more available day by day, Bangladesh needs proper planning and daily evaluation and a dynamic approach in law and policy-making to make people aware of the technology, its bad use, and the law around it to protect people, public property, and the country. For this, a comparative study on this sector of cybercrime and its law in different parts of the world is important.
