What is Cyberstalking? Definition of Cyberstalking?

What is cyber stalking??

SOURCE: http://www.cybercellmumbai.com

Cyber Stalking can be defined as the repeated acts harassment or threatening behavior of the cyber criminal towards the victim by using internet services. Stalking in General terms can be referred to as the repeated acts of harassment targeting the victim such as following the victim, making harassing phone calls, killing the victims pet, vandalizing victims property, leaving written messages or objects. Stalking may be followed by serious violent acts such as physical harm to the victim and the same has to be treated and viewed seriously. It all depends on the course of conduct of the stalker.

Both kind of Stalkers – Online & Offline – have desire to control the victims life. Majority of the stalkers are the dejected lovers or ex-lovers, who then want to harass the victim because they failed to satisfy their secret desires. Most of the stalkers are men and victim female.

How do they Operate

a. Collect all personal information about the victim such as name, family background, Telephone Numbers of residence and work place, daily routine of the victim, address of residence and place of work, date of birth etc. If the stalker is one of the acquaintances of the victim he can easily get this information. If stalker is a stranger to victim, he collects the information from the internet resources such as various profiles, the victim may have filled in while opening the chat or e-mail account or while signing an account with some website.

b. The stalker may post this information on any website related to sex-services or dating services, posing as if the victim is posting this information and invite the people to call the victim on her telephone numbers to have sexual services. Stalker even uses very filthy and obscene language to invite the interested persons.

c. People of all kind from nook and corner of the World, who come across this information, start calling the victim at her residence and/or work place, asking for sexual services or relationships.

d. Some stalkers subscribe the e-mail account of the victim to innumerable pornographic and sex sites, because of which victim starts receiving such kind of unsolicited e-mails.

e. Some stalkers keep on sending repeated e-mails asking for various kinds of favors or threaten the victim.

f. In online stalking the stalker can make third party to harass the victim.

g. Follow their victim from board to board. They “hangout” on the same BB’s as their victim, many times posting notes to the victim, making sure the victim is aware that he/she is being followed. Many times they will “flame” their victim (becoming argumentative, insulting) to get their attention.

h. Stalkers will almost always make contact with their victims through email. The letters may be loving, threatening, or sexually explicit. He will many times use multiple names when contacting the victim.

i. Contact victim via telephone. If the stalker is able to access the victims telephon, he will many times make calls to the victim to threaten, harass, or intimidate them.

j. Track the victim to his/her home.

Definition of Cyberstalking?

Although there is no universally accepted definition of cyberstalking, the term is used in this report to refer to the use of the Internet, e-mail, or other electronic communications devices to stalk another person. Stalking generally involves harassing or threatening behavior that an individual engages in repeatedly, such as following a person, appearing at a person’s home or place of business, making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or objects, or vandalizing a person’s property. Most stalking laws require that the perpetrator make a credible threat of violence against the victim; others include threats against the victim’s immediate family; and still others require only that the alleged stalker’s course of conduct constitute an implied threat.(1) While some conduct involving annoying or menacing behavior might fall short of illegal stalking, such behavior may be a prelude to stalking and violence and should be treated seriously.

Nature and Extent of Cyber Stalking

An existing problem aggravated by new technology

Although online harassment and threats can take many forms, cyberstalking shares important characteristics with offline stalking. Many stalkers – online or off – are motivated by a desire to exert control over their victims and engage in similar types of behavior to accomplish this end. As with offline stalking, the available evidence (which is largely anecdotal) suggests that the majority of cyberstalkers are men and the majority of their victims are women, although there have been reported cases of women cyberstalking men and of same-sex cyberstalking. In many cases, the cyberstalker and the victim had a prior relationship, and the cyberstalking begins when the victim attempts to break off the relationship. However, there also have been many instances of cyberstalking by strangers. Given the enormous amount of personal information available through the Internet, a cyberstalker can easily locate private information about a potential victim with a few mouse clicks or key strokes.

The fact that cyberstalking does not involve physical contact may create the misperception that it is more benign than physical stalking. This is not necessarily true. As the Internet becomes an ever more integral part of our personal and professional lives, stalkers can take advantage of the ease of communications as well as increased access to personal information. In addition, the ease of use and non-confrontational, impersonal, and sometimes anonymous nature of Internet communications may remove disincentives to cyberstalking. Put another way, whereas a potential stalker may be unwilling or unable to confront a victim in person or on the telephone, he or she may have little hesitation sending harassing or threatening electronic communications to a victim. Finally, as with physical stalking, online harassment and threats may be a prelude to more serious behavior, including physical violence.

FAQ: TO JOIN THIS CAMPAIGN YOU MIGHT HAVE QUERIES

Is it true that only Certified can join the campaign??? What is the requirement to join this?

This campaign is against Cyber Terrorism for people who are anti Indian. There is no legal certification or formal qualification to join this cause .So whether you are a Black Hat, White Hat or Grey hat id doesn’t really matter .We want to unite all the hackers in the India under one roof for their benefit, and put their skills in right and approved manner.

We do not have certificate of Ethical Hacking. We learned it from books, online tutorials/videos & such sites. We are neither a part of any group or hacked any sites. We want to work for India as an Ethical Hacker if we get a chance & proper platform. Can we join??

You need not have Certification to join this cause. As long as you have the knack, skills and aptitude and above all since the passion to work for India is evident please join us and we will give you a platform to address everyone. This cause is to secure our country from cyber evils, and let us prove that we the indians are best at it.

Once we join this young cyber army, in future if Indian Gov. provides us a project to hack website or steal the data, will they give us protection???

Firstly, the Indian Government will never award you a project to hack any website or steal the data since it is against Indian Law.Under The Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008, Cyber-terrorism is punishable with life imprisonment. Cyber offences such as identity theft, cyber-stalking, cyber harassment, spoofing and hacking are the punishable offences under this section. The IT (Amendment) Act, 2008 was passed by both Houses of Parliament on December 23, 2008. It was notified after the assent of the President on February 5, 2009. without sabotaging others interest we can secure ourself and can providesecurity cover.

Who will take forward this cyber issue in front of Hon. President of India?

The platform which will unite all the hackers will serve to voice our opinion and will be noticed by the Government. So let’s hope for the best that Hon. President of India will initiate the process of some amendments to be made.

I am a Black hat and do not want to reveal my identity. How can I join?

There has to be some sort of Identity by which people can know you and you are recognized for your efforts for the development of the nation. The others in this community will surely applaud you for your efforts.

Will it be beneficial for my career prospects also? How?

As I had mentioned earlier also that our objective is to Unite Hackers of all types in order to make our country cyber protected. So you will surely get name and fame in your career even if you have contributed a drop in this ocean of Cyber Hacking. As far as government is concerned it is still unethical or illegal according to them even if you have India’s interest in mind.

Can I join this army officially after completing my college? I am very good in hacking and security?

There is nothing official or unofficial about this army, it’s the perspective which matters. The murderer has a knife in his hand as a weapon to kill his victim. Similarly the doctor also has a knife in his hand to save the life of a patient. So one takes away a human being’s life while the other saves the life . every skill has two different sides,and we need to make best choice. So if you are talented in hacking and security and want to channelise your skills and energies for India you are always

Punishment for Cyber Crime in India

Punishment for Cyber Crime in India

SOURCE: CYBER TERROR

Under The Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008, Cyber-terrorism is punishable with life imprisonment. Cyber offences such as identity theft, cyber-stalking, cyber harassment, spoofing and hacking are the punishable offences under this section. The IT (Amendment) Act, 2008 was passed by both Houses of Parliament on December 23, 2008.

It was notified after the assent of the President on February 5, 2009.but in the recent past the amendments have raised the quantum of fine involved, but reduced the punishment…that gives out a mixed signal. More than 1000 young boys are languishing in jails across India for cyber crime, 573 of them are under trials, 197 are under investigations, 14 hospitalised due to various reasons, 12 of them are convicted, and rest of the cases are under proceedings.

Maximum number of cyber criminals are arrested from north India. So far no human right actvists or social groups ever supported these criminals. Government has special reward package for Alert citizen for providing information about hackers.The irony is that cyber crime is new age crime, and there is no specific law or punishment is penned in constitution, most of the defense lawyers are criminal lawyers and their expertise in cyber crime is limited. The seriousness of offense in most of the cases is quite minor, such as hacking some rivals website, blog or email. Money transfer by hacking banks, hacking Government sites, and misusing official website data like heinous crime is rarely traced.

"I request you all to support this campaign to unite all hackers of India under one roof to protect our country and make it cyber crime free. All hackers are not Criminals; they are the Heroes of the Computer Revolution. Let us make this country cyber protected with these young think tank, 73% hackers of India are in the age group of 12 to 19, they don’t have direction. 5% hackers are between the age group of 30 plus, and rest of the hackers working for some Indian companies or the IT brands and teaching hacking as security measures are called ethical hackers. But most of the hackers either in to this due to passion or due to compulsion of earning bread. So far the recorded data of hackers in crime is just 2%.

Let us unite these think tanks and spread awareness. This campaign is tuff but not difficult. We will approach Hon. President of India along with appeal and signatures through this campaign."Cyber crime is the latest threat to India's security with those inimical to its interests hiring experts to spy on companies and vital networks. There has been an increase of 200 per cent in cyber crime cases in India in the last three years and that is an alarming trend. The new tactics are more towards data theft like espionage on some other companies, working for some foreign intelligence agencies sitting in India, SMS and mobile call forging. At the age of 18, some of the hackers found loopholes like "Session Hijacking" & "Cross Site Scripting" in popular social networking websites. The biggest worry is that officials of Indian investigating agencies are not competent enough to deal with techno crimes.

Investigating agencies are still lagging behind in terms of technologies or techniques to actually tackle cyber crimes. Not even two percent of the officials know what Voice is over Internet Protocol (VoIP), its use or how to take precautions. The hacking of mobile numbers and for making calls and sending SMS is another area of concern. Anyone can use or misuse a mobile number to send SMS or make a call. This technology was misused in the 26/11 bombings. But all the servers and the infrastructure required to commit this cyber crime is not available in India. "The Indian IT law is not defined to tackle such crimes using mobile phones and that is dangerous. Social networking sites are not at all safe and hackers exploit and misuse vital information from such sites for indulging in crime.

When we lack experts in our own government system, why not unite these India hackers? They are also patriots and care for this nation’s security as any other citizen of this country. Why not assign these young hackers for the internet security and make our country cyber terror free.

Indian voting machine hacker released

AN INDIAN HACKER who managed to show how it was a doddle to steal an election using electronic voting machines has been released from the clutches of the local constabulary.

E-voting researcher Hari Prasad was released from jail after seven days in police custody.

According to Freedom to Tinker Prasad was released following an order from Magistrate D H Sharma. Sharma praised Hari and made strong comments against the police. Prasad did a great service for his country, the magistrate said.

Prasad was arrested after he showed how to hack an electronic voting machine in front of a group of academics. The problem, according to the coppers who arrested him, was not that he had hacked the machine but rather where he got it in the first place.

The voting machines are supposed to be super secure, but as Prasad pointed out, they are anything but. If he could hack one so easily, then any corrupt politician with a bit of money could have the same thing done.

But Prasad's demonstration showed that the Election Commission's plans to role out the machines were flawed.

It seems that soon after the demonstration, the embarrassed Commission made a complaint to the local plod. Since Prasad refused to say where he got the machine, which had been donated anonymously, they locked him up.
