Digital Offenses
Digital offenses refer to illegal activities conducted through digital means, often involving computers and the internet. These offenses can include actions like hacking, where unauthorized individuals access systems to steal data, or cyberbullying, which involves harassing someone online.

The rise of digital offenses has led to increased awareness and the need for cybersecurity measures. Organizations and individuals are encouraged to protect their data through strong passwords, regular software updates, and awareness of potential threats. Law enforcement agencies are also adapting to combat these crimes, often collaborating with tech companies to track and prevent digital offenses.
