In this era of computer technology, computer-related crime as well as cybercrime has become a substantial worldwide threat. The computer has empowered cybercriminals to attack their victims in any part of the world. Transnational crimes are very challenging to track, and more often than not, the offenders are hardly apprehended. Thus, the entire community requires a vigorous and an inclusive effort to identify invaders, preserve evidence, and prosecute those guilty, irrespective of where they are located. This Article contends that irrespective of Cameroon’s relevant laws and regulations against cybercrimes in place, coupled with the various bilateral and multilateral conventions duly ratified the challenges of cybercrimes remains pigheaded and mystifying. This Article intends to analyze the reasons for the rise in cybercrime, the laws in place and the challenges in its prosecution. Through a content analysis of primary and secondary data, we therefore, opine that, proper sensitization needs to be done to avert the spirit of cybercrimes in the cyber space.
