Internet stalking is often referred to as cyberstalking. Cyberstalking is a popular form of online harassment. Internet stalkers use various forms of electronic devices to locate, harass and torment their victims.

Law enforcement agencies have improved on the different techniques they use to catch internet stalkers. They monitor various websites, chatrooms, and social media networks. These are just a few places where internet stalking can and do begin.

This form of stalking revolves around the internet bully or stalker using the internet to send emails, pictures and other threatening communications. The content sent to the victims is usually malicious, and threatening. The language is often offensive, with threats of doing bodily harm.

The guide points out that usually victims have no idea who is cyberstalking them, and what their intentions are.
