DATA PRIVACY AND CYBER CRIME PERTAINING TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND
MOBILE BUSINESS
Introduction
In today’s world, mobile phones have become an integral part of the modern lives.
These have evolved as advantageous scientific developments that are essential to the
competitive era of globalization. The challenges in security and vulnerability of the internet
usage has considerably led to the increase in the crime rates. Data piracy and cybercrimes are
terms quite popular in this era. The pool of such data has been used by several organizations
and commercial sectors to improve their line of production and improvise on the products
based on the market needs (Munné 2016). The online sources provide a platform to crimes
where the criminals get actively and aggressively engaged in the criminal activities.
‘Cybercrime’ has been confirmed and acknowledged as an official list of typical forms of
crime where technology is used in acts of stealing money, information, records and items of
personal importance, used to shame people or blackmail them (Government.nl 2019). The
mobile companies play a significant role and have developed mechanisms to create
awareness and controls of such activities by enabling devices with improvised and updated
security systems. Further, the paper illuminates on the facts of developing a serious control
system. Every nation has also assigned a different line of police and detective force that
specifically examines and works on the cyber section of crimes.

identification numbers, using Net Banking, Mobile Banking and Unified Payment Interfaces
(UPIs) like Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay and so on. It is just not a monetary loss but
hazardous life threatening situations like stalking, causing public embarrassment or a
situation of inflicting personal harm like engaging in situations of trafficking.
Symptoms
The cyber world enables one to access to the various worlds around one through the
click or touch on a screen. This occurs when one is too active across the various cyber
platforms like the platforms of social media, the e-commerce websites or online retail shops
and using online methods of payments through debit or credit cards besides net banking and
