The case of the virus “I love you” demonstrates the need for having cyberlaws concerning Cybercrimes in different national jurisdictions. At the time of the web publication of this feature, Reuters has reported that “The Philippines has yet to arrest the suspected creator of the ‘Love Bug’ computer virus because it lacks laws that deal with computer crime, a senior police officer said”. The fact of the matter is that there are no laws relating to Cybercrime in the Philippines. The National Bureau of Investigation is finding it difficult to legally arrest the suspect behind the ‘Love Bug’ computer virus. As such, the need for countries to legislate Cyberlaws relating to Cybercrime arises on an urgent priority basis.
