Beware Of Cyber Stalkers #AAH
Cyber stalking can be a very scary experience as we can’t physically see the person following us. We are unaware of the kind of people who are consuming the information about us on the internet & how they are going to use it. Cyber stalking often becomes obvious only after some incident already takes place. Therefore, it’s important to be beware of cyber stalkers.
Firstly, all information that any stranger (or known person) knows about us on the internet is often shared by us ourselves. We overshare details like pattern of our life, locations, places we travel, whom we meet, restaurants we visit, our address, our friend circle and more. This makes us easy target for cyber stalkers. We need to be sensible about what information we are sharing online so that we are beware of cyber stalkers.
Secondly, we need to make sure that we use Virtual Private Networks (VPN) where possible. VPN redirects our access points to other locations thereby concealing real locations from where we are logging. This is an important step in being beware of cyber stalking.
Thirdly, in a majority of cases, stalkers are known to the victim. They could even be ex-lovers, partners, colleagues, neighbors etc. When you go through any relationship break/divorce, please change all your passwords. This includes social media, emails as well as banking details. Inform your trusted circle of the development.
Stay Aware, Stay Safe!
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!
