In today's digital world, we are constantly connected. While this brings many benefits, it also opens up new opportunities for threats and abuse. One of the most worrying developments in recent years is the rise of cyberstalking. At FvK Consulting, we would like to use this blog post to explain what cyberstalking is, what risks it poses, and how we can help you protect yourself.
What is cyberstalking?
Cyberstalking is the repeated, unwanted and harassing online communication intended to threaten, harass or bully a person. This can come in many forms, such as:
- Harassing emails : Incessant, often threatening or hurtful messages.
- Hate comments on social media : slanderous, threatening or stalking comments on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
- Hacker attacks : Unauthorized access to personal data or accounts in order to steal information or harm the person.
- Fake profiles : Creating false identities to damage the reputation of the person concerned or to spread false information.
The motivation behind cyberstalking can be varied, from personal revenge to jealousy to pathological obsession. Whatever the reason, the impact on victims is serious.
The effects of cyberstalking
Cyberstalking can have serious psychological and social consequences. Victims often experience:
- Psychological stress : Stress, anxiety and depression are common symptoms.
- Reduction in quality of life : Affected people may avoid social media and other digital platforms.
