The Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act 2003 made it an offence to cause a computer system to perform a function, knowing that the access secured is unauthorised, with a fine of up to 50,000 rupees and penal servitude of up to 5 years. The Cybersecurity and Cybercrime Act 2021 repealed this Act in full, and its unauthorised-access offence no longer binds; the Cybersecurity and Cybercrime Act 2021, section 7, is the current provision covering the same conduct.
