ABSTRACT
“Digital arrest is a new and concerning type of cybercrime in which entities or people have their access and digital rights illegally blocked, resulting in a virtual jail state. Digital arrest, as opposed to traditional cybercrimes, occurs when digital assets, networks, or online presence are unlawfully taken, using ransomware, malicious software, or unapproved control of digital systems. This new threat not only calls into question established cybersecurity frameworks but also highlights serious legal protection gaps because existing legislation might not fully handle the subtleties of this kind of crime. The core of contemporary infrastructure is made up of digital systems, which facilitate everything from real-time communication to industrial automation. Pre-emptively stopping processes to protect data, systems, and operations has grown crucial as digital arrest increase system complexity. It makes everything more problematic and security-related. In the virtual world of digital arrest, everything appears to be genuine, so no one can predict how they will be affected. Modern virtual world infrastructure is supported by digital systems, but as these systems grow, so do societal concerns about security, privacy, ethics, and legality. To address these issues, a technological framework is required.”
