Although crimes like fraud, harassment, and identity theft exist in both the cyber and physical worlds, their magnitude is unpredictably high in the cyber world. However, digital arrest fraud is unique to cyberspace. Digital arrest fraud and identity theft are the top-listed cybercrimes, causing unimaginable monetary loss, anxiety, depression, fear, and isolation among the victims. The current cybersecurity measures and tools, as well as the legal and ethical framework, fail to address the evolving nature of cybercrimes. Such a scenario demands more collaborative efforts and a renewed approach to ensure global cybersecurity. From this perspective, this chapter critically examines the evolving nature of cybercrimes and the available legal and ethical framework to underline the importance of leveraging cybersecurity through some required changes in the ethico-legal landscape. It argues for a globally accepted regulatory system and international cooperation to ensure cybersecurity. Copyright 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
