Abstract
This article explores the issue of cyber robbery—unlawful theft of digital property using computer tools—by examining the legal, ethical, and preventative responsibilities associated with it. Unlike traditional theft, cyber robbery allows criminals to steal financial assets, data, and intellectual property remotely, using tactics like phishing, malware, and ransomware. While international frameworks and national laws aim to prosecute offenders, challenges such as anonymity, evolving technology, and cross-jurisdictional complexities hinder effective enforcement. Organizations are also responsible for protecting data and can face legal consequences for negligence.
