Online Identity IssuesCyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk or harass an individual, a group of individuals, or an organization. A cyberstalker may be an online stranger or a person whom the target knows.

A cyberstalker may be anonymous and may solicit involvement of other people online who do not even know the target. The harassment can take on forms, but the common denominator is that it's unwanted, often obsessive, and usually illegal.

Cyberstalkers use email, instant messages, phone calls, and other communication devices to stalk, whether it takes the form of sexual harassment, inappropriate contact, or just plain annoying attention to your life and your family's activities. Cyberstalking Home Content Glossary Help Back Next
