Cyberstalking

The world is becoming (become) more dependent on technology as a

means of communication and recreation and, as a consequence, computer

crime is increasing at an alarming rate. One type of computer crime that has

the potential to cause immense distress and damage is termed cyberstalking.

Cyberstalking is defined as using the Internet or other electronic means as a

way to harass, intimidate, threaten, monitor or make unwanted contact

towards a person (victim). It can involve direct communications through e-

mails, chat rooms, or social sites such as Facebook, collecting personal

information of the target = victim, or covert observation. It is estimated that

this crime will continue to increase at a fast speed because cybercriminals will

soon find new ways to evade the law.
