Cyberbullying typically involves tweens and teens. But any individual adult can experience public shaming, which is considered "cyber harassment.” For example, when a minor harasses an adult, it falls under cyber harassment. If anyone happens to
You can consider yourself a victim of Cyberbullying.
Unlike cyberbullying and harassment, cyberstalking can come across as harmless interactions. Sending unpleasant messages, especially to girls, is a common practice in Asian countries. It also happens to celebrities
a lot, who often get negative comments on their Facebook posts. For some people, this doesn’t bother much at first, but when it becomes systematic involving life-threatening, then they feel harassed and want to take action.
Some people also receive emails saying that they have video evidence of the victim’s personal moments, which they got hacking their webcam. It’s an ideal example of cyber blackmailing where the cybercriminal asks
for a ransom to be paid in bitcoin.
In Phishing, hackers tend to trick an individual into handing out their personal information like passwords, email addresses, or phone numbers. They pose as a trustworthy entity whom the user won’t have a second thought before committing. According to
the anti-phishing working groups, almost 100 thousand attempts are reported monthly worldwide. There was an email with a message offering the recipient a healthy financial gain in the notorious Nigerian Prince Scam. Many people
in a third-world country like Bangladesh are regularly getting scammed this way, where they pay a small amount upfront to avail the opportunity to win something bigger. Termed also as Cyber fraud; it’s the worst kind of cybercrime
because it can destroy an individual financially.
James Bettke, a counter-threat unit person, states that cyber scamming is nothing but malware and phishing combined with some clever social engineering. These Intruders don’t even need to know to code. They’re just quiet
and organized.
Stealing someone’s credit card information to reconstruct a new identity is called identity theft, where criminals conduct different cybercrimes with others’ digital information.
For example, credit card information can pile up huge bills, which leads the individual to suffer a massive loss. Second, they might use individual credit card data to create new identities for other cybercriminals.
For instance, the issuing bank of a stolen credit card might be contacted to change the mailing address on the account. Then, the attacker may get a passport or driver’s license with his photo under the victim’s name. With
a driver’s license, he can easily avail a new Social Security card, opening a new bank account and receiving loans possible. When the debt gets too large, the victim is called upon by the bank, and only then does the identity
theft is detected.
Cyber defamation is something more and more people are experiencing nowadays. Intentionally insulting or offending an individual online ends up costing a life. Take the Gurugram suicide case in India, where a 12th
standard took his own life out of shame and social humiliation. In her Instagram story, a girl stated that she was raped two years ago by a boy. However, she had no proof to back it up. Even then, it got so viral that people
showed their support towards the girl, and they did the opposite with the boy. The act of sharing and retweeting is so simple that most of us give little thought to its serious consequences.
