Cyber-Bullying/Stalking.
Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk someone.
>It has been defined as the use of information and communications technology, particularly the Internet, by an individual or group of individuals,
to harass another individual, group of individuals, or organization. The behavior includes false accusations, monitoring,
the transmission of threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sexual purposes,
and gathering information for harassment purposes. The harassment must be such that a reasonable person,
in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress
Cyber scams and fraud.
>One of our most important tasks is helping those who have been victimized online by scams, fraud and e-mail.
ISPs tend to underplay the trauma, and real risks posed by e-mail scams, Internet scams and Internet fraud.
>The Internet is a perfect medium for scams and frauds and hoaxes
It's inexpensive and people can communicate anonymously.
What better way to take advantage of others? In addition, many users are new to the Internet, and easily conned.
But the old adage, "When something seems to good to be true, it isn't true" should apply even more online than in real life.
Cyber-Dating.
>Online cheating, or a cyber affair as it’s commonly called,
happens when two people who have never met in real life take part in online communication that crosses the line of appropriate behavior.
Generally flirting of any type is a bad idea and can eventually hurt the bond you share with someone else.
Divulging private information about your partner or your relationship crosses the line of what’s appropriate.
In general, anything that you would normally be discussing with your partner (sex, feelings, worries, etc.)
should never be brought up in email, message boards, or chat rooms with someone else.
Child Pornography.
>As part of the WiredPatrol branch of Wired Safety,

including child pornography and sexual molestation. This is accomplished through online and offline awareness, advertising campaigns,
and teams that investigate child pornography distribution schemes, and sexual molesters online.
