Cyberbullying and cybersecurity: how are they connected?
August 21, 2019

Cyberbullying and cybersecurity incidents and breaches are two common problems in the modern, internet-driven world. The fact that they are both related to the internet is not the only connection they have, however. The two are actually intimately connected issues on multiple levels.
Cyberbullying
Since it takes place online, it also isn’t restricted to places like school or social gatherings.
It also typically involves the common issue of cyberstalking. While it may be cute or entertaining to learn about a new friend or potential partner by following their goings-ons on Facebook, the issue of cyberstalking in a cyberbullying context is serious and is one of the key things that connect it to cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity
Another way a cyberbully can be a cybersecurity threat is by using malware to hack into their target’s phone. This can give them access to their GPS location or even sensitive personal information housed on the device. Perhaps the most unnerving aspect of this kind of data breach is the potential for the stalker to use a phone, tablet, or laptop’s camera in order to stalk a person by looking right into their home through their device.

Due diligence is the name of the game

Take steps to increase your cybersecurity, consider increasing the physical safety of your home, and make sure that everyone is well informed on the issues. With these measures in place, you and your loved ones will live happier and more secure in an increasingly connected world.

These days, the internet is woven into people’s everyday lives, and children’s lives are no exception. For all its benefits, the technological evolution has also brought, or magnified, some problems, and cyberbullying is one of the most pervasive threats that youth face online.

On a related note, the sense of decreased inhibition afforded by screens and social networks due to the sense of anonymity may make many kids feel empowered enough to say and do things in the digital world that they would never do in the physical world.
Against this backdrop and as way to encourage a proactive approach in tackling cyberbullying and other types of online harassment, here are four principles that every school and teacher can apply in order to deal with this problem: [...]
