Dont fcuk around on orkut

[Renegade]

A Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) student of Thane was arrested on Thursday for creating a classmate’s profile and uploading her picture with offensive messages on an online community site without her permission.

The cyber cell of the Thane police got into the act following a complaint by a girl that someone had created her profile on Orkut.com with her picture and posted lewd messages. Within 48 hours the culprit was nabbed.

Orkut.com is an online community that connects people through a network of friends. It is a popular site with collegians who register as members, create their profiles and upload their pictures. But it can be misused, as a Thane student found out to her utter disbelief.

According to Police Sub Inspector Ravindra Chavan, “Orkut users should not put up their photographs on the site. They should not reveal personal information in their profile. Also no cellphone numbers or identity should be mentioned in the scrap book, as it is open to all.”

He has been booked under IPC 469 (publicising offensive message) and Section 67 of IT Act, 2000. He can be punished with up to five years in jail

This is good news, because it goes to show that India is taking cyber crime serious. As recent as 3 - 4 years ago, I know a few cases that didn't see closure because authorities did not understand the internet very well.

Thats the point that needs to be delivered. Finally there is some respite. Now I can file a few cases against one Yogesh Chattre for cybersquatting. :hap2:
