We are in the digital era where we cannot imagine our lives without the Internet. Technology has become an integral part of our daily routine, and with the significant rise in technology, we see huge growth in cybercrimes. The use of information is increasing every day with the advent of more social media platforms that utilize millions of data per second globally. These data include sensitive information such as trade secrets, privacy, and security issues. The number of crimes is increasing day by day, and these cyber crimes can impact an individual, an organization, or even a whole nation. The research study aims to spread awareness about cybercrimes by offering a detailed analysis of the awareness, impact, and challenges to anyone vulnerable to cybercrime. The methodology adopted to study and analyze the impact and challenges caused due to cybercrimes is qualitative research. On a concluding note, the study will present suggestions to overcome the challenges and talk about the research’s future scope.
