The paradoxical nature of the internet makes the accurate way of using this facility more difficult. Day-to-day we witness the misusing of the cyber space like releasing viruses, hackings, frauds or trespassing on other’s privacy. One of these infringements is cyber stalking.
When an individual or group of individuals or even an organization exposures to repeated acts like harassment or threatening behavior through internet or other electronic means we call this as cyber stalking. These acts can be included of following the victim, make threats, damage to data or equipment or also the solicitation of minors for sex and so on. In this part, young people face more risk of having cyber stalkers like attempting to set-up meeting between them.
Research has shown that the majority of the stalkers are the dejected or ex-lovers who failed to satisfied their secret desire.
Social networks such as Facebook provide an easier way for cyber stalkers. For example, one of the misusing of the social networks occurs when stalkers steal some private information like images to create an account under the name of victim and publish the fake information against that victim in that mentioned page.
