Hacking and defamation

Disclaimer: I am *not* a lawyer. Hacking an email account is illegal, regardless of the purpose of the hacking. Of course, there are always exceptions. However, I don't think you can argue for your action regarding hacking your spouse's email account. Regarding your family members, it depends on a lot of factors. Consult a lawyer, please.

thanks for revert, but if attempt to hacking is there only, means a person try to hack bt failed to do so is this also a crime in india just like example attempt to murder or attempt to hacking? Is there any law in india for attempt to hacking ?

Attempt to hack --> If some one attempted but could not succeed, its equivalent to hack. 

Anyhow.. i dont think she would state that her affair details are illegally obtained, she would not want to make herself low. But check for cyber laws on hacking.

Just by mere ip address being sent to email doesn't mean you have tried to hack. She needs more proof to support the argument. 

Btw, if you want to hack, plz try some professionals, not your frns or family. there are many keylogger softwares, try them instead, they work in background and require only one install and you can pretty much do everything after that .. get al the info, and can be uninstalled remotely. But make sure you use proxies etc not to be traced. Its almost impossible to trace a ip address when proxies are used

Do not Hack by any mean , LoneFighter advise is wrong to use software or professional.

As per Section 84-C of the Information Technology Act, an attempt to commit an offence under the said Act is itself punishable with half of the maximum punishable prescribed for that offence. Hacking is punishable under Section 66 of the Act with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years or with fine which may extend to five lakh rupees or with both. So, an attempt to commit hacking would be punishable with half of this punishment.

it is ok but is try to create new password by forgot password option of anyone's user id attempt to hacking ?

If you are intentionally trying to create a new password for someone else's account without the permission of that other person, then it may amount to attempt to hacking. See Section 43, Section 66 and Section 84-C of the IT Act.

 

 

 

You know where do you live ....In India here law , police , judiciary all are liberal for them not computers and IP address .

What type of connection do you have and how old matter is ?

rebellion what do u want to say please explain? mr ashok i m agreed with ur statement but if a person trying to change the password by forgot password option how u can prove it is hacking ?

I agree with you that proof is an entirely different thing. Since the burden lies on the prosecution side, they have to prove that it amounted to hacking which may not be an easy thing to prove.

nothing more to add.
