Content: While such information can be physically obtained from written records, such as credit applications discarded by a retailer, it is frequently stolen through breaches in people’s computer security, spyware, and viruses. Personal identifying information can also be stolen when a computer-savvy person hacks into a computer network, such as a network over which a bank or retail establishment shares information with its branches. These types of breaches allow hackers to snare huge blocks of information at a time. For example: Naomi breaches people’s home computers through the use of emailed viruses, obtaining what personal information she can find, such as passwords into retail accounts. One day she obtains Patty’s password to his Amazon account, and is able to log in and view the personal identifying information in his account settings, as well as the credit card he has used to make purchases. Armed with this information, including Patty’s date of birth and social security number, Naomi is able to obtain brand new credit cards, and possibly even a driver’s license with her own photo. Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying occurs when someone uses the internet, a cell phone, email, instant messaging, chat rooms, or social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, to harass, demean, embarrass, or intimidate someone else. It is commonly a crime committed by kids and teens, as their growing access to electronic communication makes it possible to make fun of or ostracize others. The problem spreads like wildfire as the bully can hide behind the anonymity of a login identity, while encouraging other kids to join in the “fun” of harassing the victim.
