last

decade leading to huge losses to the general public. The one who suffers the most is middle-class families. Needless to say, the damage caused by cyber-crime is irreplaceable. Another problem with the

internet

is its ability to create a rift between the real and virtual world. More specifically, the virtual world is so alluring that once hooked, it can become an addiction that can hamper the mental and physical health of the user.

However

, there are solutions to alleviate the problems.

Firstly

, a strict policy should be framed by the government regarding the encryption of data

that is

collected via different digital modes. A joint effort is required by law enforcement agencies across the globe to track down and apprehend the criminals associated with cyber-crime.

Secondly

, dealing with additions requires intertwined collaboration between parents and schools as the majority of victims are found to be adolescents or teenagers. To conclude, there are solutions for the problems related to the

internet

. A joint effort is required by societies to overcome and make the digital world a safer place.
