As women, we are at risk of cyberstalking and harassment online. Cyberstalking is a serious issue that can have severe consequences, including emotional distress and even physical harm. This pamphlet aims to provide women with the information and resources they need to protect themselves against cyberstalking and stay safe online.
However, cyber safety is essential for everyone, regardless of gender. While women are often the primary focus of online safety discussions, men are just as vulnerable to cyberattacks. Men may face specific risks, such as being targeted for financial scams or cyberbullying.
Therefore, it is crucial for men to take proactive measures to protect themselves online, including using strong passwords, avoiding suspicious links and emails, and being cautious when sharing personal information. By staying informed and taking necessary precautions, men can reduce their risk of falling victim to cybercrime and enjoy a safer online experience.
What is cyber stalking?
Cyberstalking is the use of the internet, social media, or other forms of online communication to harass or intimidate someone. Cyberstalkers may send threatening messages, spread false rumors, or even steal personal information to harm their victims. Cyberstalking can be a traumatizing experience, leaving victims feeling vulnerable and helpless.
