Hacking and online frauds are the most common attacks we hear today as well as we also know that serious crimes like cyber squatting, cyber stalking and cyber terrorism are taking place too. In this paper I have discussed the cyber crimes against property that is again a wide topic so I will be focusing upon only two cyber crimes; (i) Cyber squatting (ii) Software Piracy. I will discuss that how these crimes happen and what are the remedies available against them in India.
