Computer forensics as involving "the preservation, identification, extraction, documentation and interpretation of computer data (Kruse and Heiser, 2002) in the book Computer Forensics created an awareness that it is much of art than a science. Through the literature review from multiple dimensions, it gives a clear picture that computer / cyber security or related concerns are historic in nature. It is also used to include traditional crimes in which computers or networks are used to enable the illegal activity. The doctoral study is conducted on the customers using various modes of financial transactions across globe with their twit patterns on twitter to find the level of awareness regarding Computer forensics and literacy aspects along with further developments in the unexplored field of techno legal skill development, as it is one of the developed financial and commercial cities in modern era.

Flanagan and McMenamin (1992) state computer Crime-committed by new generation of hackers might cost cybercrime victims,as a collective, anywhere from$500million to $5 billion a year. The Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center(CERT/CC) reports that “the number of reported incidences of security breaches in the first three quarters of 2000 has risen by 54% over the total number of reported incidences in 1999” (McConnell International LLC, 2000, p.1).
Respondents were selected on the basis of twitter responses of almost 5000 respondents across globe to understand and study the crime trends and its impact, also to explore the relationship between increasing rates of cyber crime due to digitization and demonetization and customer awareness.
