He stated, *“While there is no specific legislation governing cryptocurrencies, victims of such cyberattacks may resort to general provisions under the Indian Penal Code (for offences like cheating, theft and criminal breach of trust) and the Information Technology Act, 2000—particularly Sections 43 and 66 dealing with unauthorised access and data breaches.”*
