Abstract: In the era of information technology, the rapid growth of internet usage and mobile technology has opened new frontiers, not just for innovation and communication, but also for crime. One of the most dangerous and rapidly evolving cybercrime is phishing. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to fool users and exploits the poor usability of current web security technologies. Hence, a doctrinal study was carried out to focus on the growing number of reported cases on phishing. Phishing is not just a technical issues but which is a legal one. In India, multiple laws and authorities address phishing, even though there isn’t a single, dedicated “anti-phishing” statute in India. The need is not only to have appropriate legal provisions for phishing on cyber space but also to create awareness among the general public and strict functioning of law enforcement agencies.
