How do you protect yourself from cyber stalker?

Answer 1

The good thing is that 'cyberstalking' scares you, as it should. This has become a huge issue in the past decade, so I'm going to share a few tips with you to help you avoid stalkers on the Web.

1. Never, ever, ever give out your home address.

- This also means you shouldn't add strangers to media sites (e.g. Facebook) if it contains personal information. 2. Add Passwords!

- It may seem like common sense, but (some) people use super simple passwords like their birth date. This information is easy to attain, if the user isn't careful. Try another person's birth date mixed with punctuation and symbols or whatever you can remember, just make it difficult for others. 3. Search Yourself - Try conducting a Web searching using your name and phone number. You need to ensure nothing is out there that you don't know about; it can be fatal. A cyber stalker could have created a blog, Facebook page, or other accounts using your name, picture(s), or other personal data. Only you can control how you're viewed on the Web.

4. Be Suspicious

- Don't respond to suspicious incoming e-mails, phone calls, or text messages requesting your information. There are many spoofs out there that can mimic the number of your bank, for example, and this tricks people into unveiling critical information. If you feel vulnerable, hang up the phone, and call the bank (or other institution) directly to ensure you're not the target of a cyber stalker.

5. Never, ever, ever give out your Social Security Number (SSN)!

- Again, it seems like common sense, right? Well, many people have fallen victim to identity theft because they weren't careful. A cyber stalker with your "social" will have immediate access to every part of your life. Don't give the number out unless you know who it is, and why they're asking for it.

Answer 2

Keep your information private (Facebook,Myspace ext.) If you notice someone suspicious band block delete that person as soon as possible better safe than sorry.

If someone that you absolutely do not know ask you personal questions investigate who they are first because some cyber stalkers take up another identities on the web. Inless you know them personally don't give out you phone number address or anything else that will put you at risk of him or her finding you. Also never give your friends full names or relatives for stalkers might try to get information about you from them.
