With the inventors of the internet invented this game changing paradigm, they have no clue that more than half century later, a massive public health emergency would arise which will have extremely catalytic impact on cyberspace. In fact, internet was created never keeping in mind the specter of human facing massive pandemic and public health emergency.
The advent of COVID-19 has had game changing impact upon all sectors of human activity and endeavor including the internet.
The Golden Age of cybercrimes, which has begun with Covid-19, is going to last for some time. This Golden Age has demonstrated the inefficacy of existing cybercrime laws to deal with the emerging challenges of cybercrimes. Hence, in the coming times, we would see a focus on cybercrime regulation as an important thrust area of growing policies. Countries could potentially be looking up in the direction of having dedicated cybercrime laws.
