CYBER STALKING

  In general, stalking entails pestering or threatening another individual. Cyberstalking is an online version of physical stalking that involves the use of information technology. Cyberstalking is the use of the internet, e-mail, and chat rooms to track down another person. Cyber stalking is when a person, a group of individuals, or an organisation is stalked or harassed via the Internet or other electronic methods. Issuing false charges or declarations of fact (as in defamation), monitoring, making threats, identity theft, data or equipment damage, soliciting minors for sex, or obtaining information that might be used to harass are all examples of harassment.

They could make any such rules which were considered essential for securing the defence of British India and also could make any rules regarding maintenance of supplies and services expedient to the life of communit...

Basic concept of Cyber Terrorism and Cyber crimes

  Most people would say they know what terrorism is, but surprisingly there is no internationally agreed definition. There is literally hundreds of different definitions incurrent use with the use of violence or threat of violence being the only general common theme. The only other elements to appear in more than 50% of definitions are “Political” and “fear, terror emphasized”. This is a hamper on international cooperation as some terrorist organizations are seen as legitimate fighters by some countries. Terrorism does differ from other crimes in its mens rea ; it is done with a purpose and a specific strategic outcome in mind. If there has been significant international and intellectual disagreement about a definition for terrorism itself, the disagreement as to what, if anything, constitutes Cyber Terrorism is even more diverse. This paper will consider the battle against terrorism in Cyberspace, Cyber Terrorism as a form of attack and the terrorist use of the Internet as a too...
