The internet has made shopping, paying bills and staying in touch with friends easier. Sadly, it has made stalking easier as well.
For women this is a particularly distressing phenomenon. More than one million women are stalked every year, and as many as 1 in 6 will deal with a stalking incident at some time in their life.
Those with an unhealthy or dangerous fixation on a female stranger, acquaintance or coworker can now find out where that person lives with a simple five-minute Google search.

There are steps you can take if you find yourself in this frightening situation: Keep a record of all incidents, and save any letters, text messages, etc. for when you report what is happening to the police. But do not overlook the importance of protecting yourself online.
Someone seeking attention or retribution from can search that woman’s name and quickly find her home address, children’s names and a lot more. They can find a map to her home and even see what the home looks like through Google maps. They can see where her kids go to school. When the worst happens – and it does, too often – the internet likely helped to facilitate the attack.
Be extra careful when giving out any personal information, and caution friends and family members about doing the same.
