In addition, there are some cyber-attacks by perpetrators, with the most unsettling usage we have ever witnessed, it’s also employed by the governments of several states, including ours, using spywares to target their rivals as well as other individuals in order to obtain an edge over their rivals. In this study, we will explore each of these issues in brief, from computer usage to the government exploiting this data for various objectives from “segmenting to blocking”, as well as certain sections of the Information Technology Act[2] (hereinafter IT Act) dealing with these attacks on our privacy.
