Cyber Crime Laws

Cyber Crime Laws in Pakistan deal with offenses committed through the use of computers, digital devices, networks, and the internet. As the world becomes increasingly connected, the rise in online fraud, identity theft, data breaches, and social media harassment has made cybersecurity a critical legal concern. These laws aim to protect individuals, organizations, and national interests from digital threats and misuse of technology.

The primary law governing cybercrime in Pakistan is the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), 2016. This legislation outlines a wide range of cyber offenses, provides for the investigation and prosecution of such crimes, and authorizes the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to take legal action against offenders.

Key offenses covered under PECA, 2016 include:

  • Cyberbullying and online harassment

  • Identity theft and impersonation

  • Unauthorized access to data or systems

  • Online fraud, phishing, and financial scams

  • Hacking and spreading viruses or malware

  • Electronic forgery and tampering with data

  • Hate speech, defamation, and uploading objectionable content

  • Cyber terrorism and offenses against the state
