Beware of being active on cyber space as stalkers are on the prowl. Social networking may be the best way to catch up with lost contacts or conveying your thoughts to the world in a jiffy, but unless you are careful about the privacy settings in these sites, there are very high chances of falling an easy prey to cyber stalkers...........
Cyber stalking and stalking through telecommunication technology is harassment, which is on the rise owing to its ease and the anonymity it offers to criminals such as pedophiles and pranksters.

Even when you delete what you have posted, there are always remnants of your activity in the digital space which most people are not aware of..................
Cases such as a spurned lover defaming his lady love by posting abusive mails and indecent morphed pictures or a pedophile befriending a 10-year-old to do some indecent activity and later threatening the parents for a ransom are dime a dozen.........................
There is a big e-mafia looking out for easy victims on the internet space and Indians are now becoming the targets.......
