Never reveal home address/es online.
Password-protect all devices and online
accounts, and use secure passwords that
would be difficult for anyone to guess.
Regularly update your passwords.
Conduct an internet search using your name
and phone numbers to find out how much
information about you is publicly available
online.

cyberstalked?
(Moore, 2018)

PROTECT
YOURSELF FROM
CYBERSTALKING
Be suspicious of any incoming email, phone
call, or message that asks for identifying
information.
Use web analytics* or other free registry
counters that will record all incoming traffic
to your online accounts (personal blogs and
websites included); that way, page visitors
are identified.

*Web analytics is the process of analyzing the behavior of
visitors to a Web site. (Rouse, n.d.)

PROTECT
YOURSELF FROM
CYBERSTALKING
Ask an information technology (IT)
professional to check the security of the
computer devices you own, especially if
there are suspicions of being a target victim.
Take preventive measures right away when
you suspect that you are being cyberstalked.
Avoid inaction because you think you could
be overreacting or being paranoid; it’s
always best to err on the side of caution.

PROTECT
YOURSELF FROM

Block the potential cyberstalker and record
incidents (date, time, and place).
Make it clear that the attention is unwanted.
Write once to the cyberstalker and document
it. Warn that further contact will result in a
police report.
Save copies of all communications. Take
screen-shots and back up evidence on a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) stick or an
external hard drive.

REMEMBER
Cyberstalking refers to repeated
unwanted contact from someone on the
Internet. Often, this makes the victim
afraid or concerned about her or his
safety. In general, a cyberstalker’s
conduct induces fear and invades a
person’s right to privacy.

52. e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 52e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 52
REMEMBER
Reasons for cyberstalking include
gathering information that can be used
against a person or an organization,
harassing an identified target in
exchange for money, exacting revenge,
or simply cyberstalking someone for
fun. In some cases, people who
excessively stalk others online for fun
may not realize that what they’re doing
may be considered a crime.

53. e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 53e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 53
REMEMBER
Cyberstalking is a crime. Don’t be the
next victim. Inform your parents,
friends, teachers, and the authorities at
once about suspicious people you
encountered online.
Practice common sense and critical
thinking when interacting with other
people online. Remember not to give
away important personal information to
strangers. This includes your home
address, school, and phone number.

54. e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 54e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 54
REMEMBER
Learn about the privacy and security
features of the social networking and
blogging sites on which you have
existing accounts. This will allow you to
control the amount of information that
you share with people you actually
know and the general public. Doing so
will decrease your risk of being a target
of cyberstalkers.

55. e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 55e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 55
REMEMBER
When you find yourself in a
cyberstalking situation, immediately
seek help from friends, family, teachers,
and the authorities to resolve the issue.
Block the cyberstalker online at once,
and document all communications sent
to you and save copies for evidence.
More importantly, remain resilient and
exercise critical thinking as you deal
with the situation.

56. e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 56e-Citizenship Learning Packets Slide 56
REMEMBER
Exert conscious effort to be aware of
your online behavior to avoid
becoming an abuser yourself.
