9 Ways to Protect Yourself from Cyberstalking
6. Use stat counters or free of cost registry counters to keep a track of incoming traffic
This will help you keep a record of the incoming traffic to your blogs and websites. Stat counters help you to identify the people who are viewing your website or blog. The registry records things like the IP address, date, time, state, city and internet service provider of the people visiting your website or blog. This idea can give you valuable protection if your website or blog is targeted by a cyberstalker.
7. Reset your password after a divorce or a break up
A spouse can get revengeful after a divorce and a lover can get spiteful after a break up. So, if you think that your partner is angry enough to misuse your bank or other accounts then change your passwords immediately. Also, don’t forget to inform your bank and credit companies about the same. Ask them not to allow anyone to make any changes or transactions in your accounts. Changing the passwords is a good practice even if you think that your partner is alright with the separation.
8. Hire a professional and find out if your computer has spyware
Hire a professional and ask him to check if your PC has spyware or other viruses. This practice is a must for people who are already experiencing cyberstalking incidents. This will help you know if your computer is already compromised. Don’t ignore unusual activities in your accounts. You may not be imagining things. So, let a professional help you to find out the truth.
9. Stay strong emotionally
Once you come to know that you are being cyberstalked, you may feel paranoid and very uneasy. This is normal and you must find solace in your loved ones’ company at this time. Share the truth with them and let them comfort you.
