Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, the world is connect through cyber networks and cyber-crime is observed at a very high rate. The security of industrial plants and safe financial transactions are minimum requirements for security and privacy. Additionally, intrusion, data poisoning, and port bombarding are common issues in the cyber-world. Cyber-attackers can be hired these days for a small compensation and can target anyone to disturb the running system. These attack can be country-specific or issue-specific with the aim of hitting a target. Cyber-attacks were at an all-time high even during the pandemic, continuing this trend today. The capability to detect, stop and defend against such crimes and fraud is a challenge and the law must support for agencies in the pursuit of cyber-attackers.
