2. INTRODUCTION
Cyber slavery refers to the exploitation of individuals through digital means, such
as through forced labour , human trafficking , or other forms of coercion
facilitated by the internet or technology.
This can include online recruitment, manipulation through social media and the
use of digital platforms to control and exploit victims. It’s a disturbing
manifestation of modern slavery, where technology is used as a tool of
oppression and exploitation.
Cyber slavery is emerging as a form of organised crime of unprecedented
severity and scale . Cyber slavery is human trafficking or exploitation in
scamming activities run on the Web.

3. CASE STUDY ON CYBER SLAVERY
Nandan Sah was living at Behra Sikta in Bihar’s Champaran. He was running a photocopying stand.
One day he got an offer for his dream job of data operator in a foreign country. The salary was very
high and it seemed like a life changer. Sah signed up immediately for a fee of Rs 130000, his Delhi
agent placed him in Cambodia.
Then his life started becoming worse. He was put to work on internet scamming operators with a
team of others trapped like him. Sah could not take the criminal activity so he protested. He was
beaten brutally. He was given electric shocks and left in forests to die. Nearby villagers helped him call
for rescue. Sah was brought back to India. He begged his agent for refund of his fee, his agent took
him to the hospital but he was refused as no one was ready to help without FIR. He came back to his
town and tried to file a complaint but was told that it is out of there jurisdiction. He wrote letters to
PM and MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS with a pen drive which has all the proofs of his torture and
accounts of others. He also gave two mobile numbers of people both Indians who are stuck in
Cambodia factory but when contacted they refused to tell anything because of fear for there lives.
It is a classic example of cyber slavery.

4. WHAT IS CYBER SLAVERY?
A new form of exploitation and human trafficking called cyber
slavery, where computer literate job seekers are lured into cyber
scamming outfits offering attractive salaries for jobs that sound
like marketing and currency trading. These dupes are almost
always made to pay to get the job.
They are then put to work, scamming people with a myriad of
fraud business opportunities and fake online romantic, liaisons,
mostly in the west and wealthy sections of the developed
countries. Long hours are par for these cyber slavery courses;
those who cant keep up are usually subjected to brutal
punishment.

5. CYBER HYGIENE
Cyber hygiene, or cybersecurity hygiene, is a set of practices organizations and
individuals perform regularly to maintain the health and security of users, devices,
networks and data.
The goal of cyber hygiene is to keep sensitive data secure and strengthen the
organization's ability to recover if and when a successful attack occurs. The concept
works similarly to personal hygiene. Individuals maintain their health by taking
regular recommended actions, such as flossing to minimize cavities and handwashing
to avoid infection. In the same way, organizations can maintain their health, thereby
preventing data breaches and other security incidents, by following precautionary
cyber hygiene measures.
