cyber Stalking take down
Cyberstalking is the most extreme form of online abuse. It can be described as a collective onslaught on the reputation, wellbeing and security of a person or organisation, through the utilisation of false online accusations, online defamation, slander and libel. Online monitoring, identity theft, threats, vandalism, solicitation for sex, doxing, and blackmail are all tools of the trade used by cyberstalkers.
The perpetrators of cyberstalking more often than not, are anonymous and seek to destroy the the reputation and identity of businesses and the people they target. Their motivation can range from personal revenge to discrediting the competition to gain market share or to simply destroy their businesses as a whole.
Perpetrators of cyberstalking are the most complex to successfully litigate against. Although the ISP's can be effectively approached for notice and take down applications and orders, the anonymity of the perpetrators mean that they simply morph into another identity and continue their cyberstalking.
GP Bouwer attorneys follows a multidisciplinary approach of cyber forensics and forensics investigation to identify the cyberstalker and successfully litigate against them.
