Cyber bullying shouldn't be tolerated. Image Credit: Pixabay.com
Technology has advanced and we should be grateful for those advancements but technology can also be a place were there’s darkness. It’s sometimes used to intimidate those who are on the road to success. To stop and hinder “progress.” Those who may be perceived as elevating in some way may be envied. Anyone can sit behind a computer and dish out cruel and hateful words. Those who do so are cowards. There’s mean people all over cyberspace. Some lurking about to find their next bullying victim. Never really knowing their true identity. Of course there’ s ways of finding out just who those bullying individuals are. The cyber police and investigators can obtain the necessary information to generate a case against those individuals. Even private investigators will investigate who and how the envy bullies are projecting their hate. Of course they’re using technology but the private investigators can go their jobs if there’s an outside job and they could be served papers to appear in court.
Those who continue to bully others can be reported. Even if they’re using fake names or pen names. The law will obtain their IP addresses and do searches to find out the locations where they’re projecting their bullying from. The authorities in those locations can be contacted to serve those individuals paperwork pertaining to lawsuits. No one should tolerate being bullied and especially the bullying is consistent. There’s organizations that can be contacted. If there’s any sort of discrimination taking place then organizations that deal with discrimination cases can be contacted. Even creating videos and supplying their names or whatever names they’re using can do some good. That way others are aware that the individuals are harassing and bullying others and they may help report those individuals as well.
Sometimes they’ll use forums or writing to bullying those who are trying to get ahead. I’m familiar with the bullying but action will be taken. All proof can be supplied to the necessary organizations, media, social media and lawyers. Those individuals that continuously harass others should be reported and if they’re discriminating against a particular group then there’s the NAACP or the NAN which stands for the National Action Network. Founder Rev. Al Sharpton.
Communicating with politicians could help with awareness of this growing problem. The internet is useful but can be a playground for cyberbullies. Bullies are fearful individuals who will never or rarely confront their victims face to face. That’s why they’ll use technology. Bullies shouldn’t have that amount of power where they’re able to immobilize their victims. There should be reports and if they’re awfully bad then they should be sued or the platforms that they’re using to harass their victims.
There’s more to the bullying than envy. There’s a need to control their victims or to get those individuals to stop making progress. Unfortunately there’s some people who won’t try to elevate but will work harder to try and hinder others. They’re actually sad people. If they were happy individuals then they wouldn’t spend their time trying to make life harder for others.
Some of the tactics used to bullying others online is to create situations that make the person seem unstable in some way. The bullying is a form of gaslighting. Mainly the tactic is used by an abusive spouse. The best way that those who are being cyber bullied can conquer bullying is to think positive and contact agencies that help tackle bullying.

Cybersecurity issues have become front page news virtually every week - breaches, fraud, theft and a whole host of other cyber crime events read like the police blotter from a large metropolitan city where criminals run rampant.
At the same time, regular reporting on increased cyber defense spending, more info-sharing and collaboration, new technical solutions, businesses getting serious about cybersecurity, governments legislating cyber safety through governance and regulation, and a flurry of other recent activities designed to keep us all safer have also made their way to the front of our everyday news.
It would seem to be something of a contradiction. Each week, new stories of cyber woe. Each week new reports of improved diligence in the fight.
This contradiction brings on the kind of cognitive dissonance that won’t go away until you’re able to fully analyze what’s happening between what’s being done to combat cybercrime and what we’re all seeing each week in the news. What it comes down to is that sooner or later, we’re all victims of cybercrime and it seems obvious that what we’re doing now isn’t working perfectly.
Having spent the bulk of my career working in and around cybersecurity and intelligence domains, I realized recently that I’d never really looked at the problem from the perspective of businesses that are the chief consumers of cybersecurity solutions.
So, with a few years of fresh data on hand collected from meeting each week with companies and their cyber teams to exchange info and talk about security functions inside their businesses, I set out to comb through the info I’ve collected in an attempt to at least shed some light on the dilemma.
What follows below are just a few observations gleaned from my experiences that, for me at least, help lay the foundation for an explanation or two - and maybe a way for us to help ourselves. Be warned, though! Not all of it is particularly pretty. But, then again, neither is the cyber problem itself.
