First of all, I would like to ask a question to all of you. What do you understand by the terms- cybersecurity and cyberbullying? I know you are no stranger to these terms but how deep you know about them?
Let’s get start with them:
Cyberbullying is defined as bullying a person with the help of technological outlets like social media or texting.
Cybersecurity is defined as the protection provided against important data using various techniques.
I hope you all cleared with its definition. Let’s move further and study them in detail.
Cyberbullying:-
Bullying is far more than physical abuse, which can take place digitally also. It includes intimidating, harassing, deceiving, humiliating, and directly impersonating a person. Moreover, it is accessible to schools and other social gatherings.
It also involves the common issue of cyberstalking. Of course, it seems interesting and entertaining to know about any new friend or any potential partner by following them on Facebook, but the issue of cyberstalking in a cyberbullying context is serious and is considered as one of the key things that connect it to cybersecurity. Cyberbullying has a track record as malicious and harmful activity like Shana Grice in 2016.
Cybersecurity:-
Cybersecurity is a topic which has no end. Till now, we have learned many things about cybersecurity. And, it never feels worthless to talk about it any time.
Today, the light will be shed on it by relating it to cyberbullying. In cyberbullying, Identity theft is a major threat. Additionally, criminals can also impersonate an individual for other motives as well like hacking their account on a game, email address, and social media account.
The second way is to hack the mobile phones of users by using malware. With this, hackers get access to the target’s GPS location and other personal data kept in mobile phones. This kind of data breach is also used to stalk an individual by looking into their home with the help of their devices like mobile phone, tablet, laptop, etc.
This information about the cybersecurity and cyberbullying does not end here. This was just the little description of them. It will be continued in the next blog.
