CYBER CRIME IN BANGLADESH: CAUSES AND EFFECTS

Abstract

The Aim of my research is to suggest the government to enact cyber crime in our country to prevent cyber criminals from committing cyber crime in Bangladesh. My suggestion to Government is please establish one digital forensic laboratory in our country for investigation and detection of cyber crime. At present all most all the leading private banks of our country already started online banking. This   online banking is based on Internet and computer. So it is the duty of the   government to provide security to all the banks. In 2008 some terrorist attack Mumbai. More than two hundred people died in that attack. From newspaper it has been found that terrorist use so many fake email address and also they use some fake web site in order to contact with their leaders. Through close circuit camera it has been seen that few terrorist bearing their personal Laptop with them.  But because of lack of expertise necessary to detect cyber crime Mumbai police failed to prevent it. They are totally ignore of it that’s why it is become very easy  for the terrorist to attack their target. Bangladesh is also face same type of attack few years ago. During the year 2004 to 2006 JMB killed so many people in Bangladesh. They also used latest technology. Now a days terrorist use advance technology in order to commit crime which sometimes become impossible for the  police to detect it unless and until they have advance technology in their hand. That’s why I suggest our government to establish one digital forensic laboratory in our country for Investigation and detection of cyber crime. Also there is an urgent need to develop a cyber crime legislation that will protect cyber security in Bangladesh. Cyber police force is also needed in order to detect cyber criminals. Now a days lot of internet expert is available in Bangladesh who have got lot of   idea about internet and cyber world. So it is not a impossible thing to enact cyber   law in our country. Just willingness of the government is enough to do this thing. Bangladesh has been carrying out anti- cyber crime activities from last year providing training for a group of professionals and developing software. There is also a need to have more projects on cyber crime legislation and enforcement capacity building and training courses through out the country.
