Cyberstalkers

It seems cyberstalkers are on the rise in Malaysia. And I imagine elsewhere in the world.

According to the NST, (quoting Cyber-Security Malaysia, an agency under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry), the number of cases in the first 10 months of the year had more than doubled to 151 from 72 last year.

Cyber-Security Malaysia says stalkers, among other things, harass netizens by sending rude messages or posting personal pictures without the consent of the owner (not necessarily nude ones), or abusing their email, blogs and social networking accounts.

The report is HERE.

Aah...we've all had our fair share of cyberstalkers. Some are harmless, really. Some are crazed and some are just plain nasty!

Occupational hazard, they say.

lepas pakai lingerie gps, kita hantar pulak kat MACC untuk di siasat. tapi, jangan lupa, siang saja tau.

To Anonymous who said, "Take it or forget it simply... just like that!!!". It is a known fact, in Europe, for every reported case, there are at least 7 - 8 cases unreported. I believe it is because kids "take it" as you said it. The question is, should we take it? I guess what you are saying is, it is ok to be harassed and stalked. Take it like a man, "I am guessing you are a man". And live with it. How "simply" simplistic you are? An exemplary model of a good citizen, I am sur you are.
