What Constitutes Cyberstalking?

Cyberstalking occurs whenever a person uses the Internet as a means of discovering extensive information about another person. Generally, contact with the victim is necessary for it to be considered cyberstalking. Threats, jokes, and other harmful communication are common ways in which a stalker may harass his or her victims.

Cyberstalkers may use the information they have gathered about their victim and attempt to embarrass them or tarnish their reputation. While some stalkers may remain an indirect source of anguish, others may try repeatedly to meet up with their victims in person. Either behavior is considered harassment, and may be punishable by the law.
