Emphasising the importance of issues covered under the Information Technology (IT) Act, the Bombay High Court has said the Maharashtra government should come up with a system to protect and detect data theft. A division bench of Justices S C Dharmadhikari and G S Patel was hearing a petition filed by a private software company seeking direction to the cyber crime cell of the city police to investigate its complaint against an employee for alleged data theft. Justice Dharmadhikari suggested the police not to brush aside such complaints all the time. The bench said that the IT Act is not about just Facebook and Twitter and other social networking accounts but also about misuse of financial information. The court has directed senior officials of the cyber crime cell to look into the issue and apprise the court on the next date of hearing on September 19.
