This research paper highlights the liability of the intermediaries concerning the cyber crimes committed by cybercriminals in cyberspace with the aid of electronic devices like computers, cell phones, and tablets. The anonymity character is one of the factors that motivate cybercriminals to commit crimes freely without having fear. Section 2(w) of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 defines it as "any person who on behalf of another person receives, stores or transmits that record or provides any service concerning that record and includes telecom service providers, web-casing service providers, search machines, online payment spots, online transaction spots, online request places, and cyber cafes". This paper analyzes the extent of the liability of the intermediaries in cyber crimes. Moreover, this paper is a ready reference to explain the IT Rules Amendment 2008, 2011, and 2021 and the liability of intermediaries and explains the safe harbor principle and its limitation and judicial response in respect of fixing liability on the intermediaries.
