The expeditious progression of technology and the ubiquitous utilisation of the internt have engendered a novel category of illicit conduct commonly referred to as cybercrimes. This research focuses on the legal framework and challenges associated with prosecuting cybercrimes, specifically hacking, identity theft, and online fraud. The study begins by examining the existing legal framework for addressing cybercrimes, including international conventions, national legislation, and the role of law enforcement agencies. It explores the complexities of defining and classifying cybercrimes, as well as the jurisdictional issues that arise due to the borderless nature of the internet. The research also delves into the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies and legal systems in investigating and prosecuting cybercrimes. These challenges include the anonymous nature of online activities, the difficulty of gathering digital evidence, and the need for specialized technical expertise within the legal system. Additionally, the study investigates the difficulties in establishing the identity and location of cybercriminals, often operating from different jurisdictions. Furthermore, the research analyses the legal and technological measures implemented to combat hacking, identity theft, and online fraud. It examines the effectiveness of these measures, such as computer crime laws, data protection regulations, and international cooperation agreements.
