This paper compares Nigeria’s and India’s legal responses to cybercrime amid rapid digital and e-commerce growth. Nigeria’s framework, led by the Cybercrime Act 2015 and Data Protection Act 2023, is evolving, with increasing convictions and regulatory improvements. India’s approach, under the Information Technology Act 2000 and Cybersecurity Policy 2023, features stronger infrastructure and judicial recognition of digital rights. Both countries criminalize similar offences like hacking and online fraud. The paper recommends continuous legal reform, stronger enforcement, public awareness, and international cooperation to address emerging cyber threats and safeguard digital business assets in a rapidly changing global environment.
