In India, cyberstalking, identity theft, phishing, and online defamation are addressed under the Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The IT Act deals with cybercrimes using technology, while the IPC covers offenses like defamation. Specifically, the IT Act's Sections 66C and 66D address identity theft and impersonation, respectively. Section 67A handles transmission of sexually explicit content, which can be relevant in cases of online harassment. Defamation is primarily defined under IPC Sections 499 and 500.
