It is, therefore, essential for all users to understand the security mechanisms and potential risk factors of using the internet to protect their confidential information from unauthorized access. The paper focused on the study to investigate the awareness of cybercrime and cybersecurity in earning the harmless transmission of data and the secure use of the internet. The research is enriched with the findings through a questionnaire survey conducted over a period of three months where the targeted population (100) were the students of Britannia University. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software and the results have been shown using a frequency distribution table. It has been learned from the survey findings that a remarkable number of students (79%) possess good knowledge of cybercrime. The researchers also carefully explored whether the respondents have intentionally or unintentionally committed cybercrime or not. In the conclusion, the paper investigateswhether the precaution has been taken by the respondents against cybercrime and for secure usage of the internet.
