Abstract
The crime conducted digitally or with the help of the advanced technology is regarded as cyber
crime. The evidence and the investigation of the cyber crime need computer forensics. Computer
forensics deals with the evidences those can be collected digitally. This paper discusses about a
case that can be regarded as a digital crime. The process and the necessary steps those are needed
to be taken in this course are described in this paper. The case taken in this case is the fraud in
the net banking transaction. The steps , mentioned in this paper are hypothetical. Modification
and improvisation of these steps can be carried out based on the variation of the situations. The
specific name of software that can be used in this case is mentioned. Certain recommendations
are made on the basis of the actions and the result. It can be concluded from the paper that digital
forensics can be helpful in the detection and elimination of the computer related crime.

Introduction
The definition of crime has been changes in this technological era. The crime can be
committed through the online which is often called cyber crime. In these cases the evidence for
the investigation of the crime does not involve with the collection of the physical evidence. The
evidence needs to track digitally in the case of cyber crime. It is the job of digital forensics
experts to find the evidence form for carrying out the investigations. Different tools and methods
can be implemented in order to gather the digital evidences related to the computer related crime.
However, there are certain factors such as- social factors, legal factors and technical factors that
may appear as a challenge in the way of investigation. This paper discusses about the crime
related to the computer that can be solved by the computer forensics (Cole et al.,2015). The
digital forensics team needs to be aware of the legal issues and the advancement of technology
while dealing with the investigation of computer related crime and enforcement. The computer
forensics merges the computer science and the law (Li, 2017). The investigators of computer
related crime should be aware of the methods of the investigation and evidence collection so that
those evidences are accepted during the judgment process. However, the role of the digital
forensics investigators can be utilized in full potential as the laws are not well synchronized with
the advancement of technology and sometimes exposing digital evidence can become the
violation of privacy of any person (Rogers, 2017). Moreover, with the advancement o
technology, the practice of encryption and anonymity is growing rapidly, so it is hard for the
digital investigators to track the evidences properly.
