I am surprised by the staggering rise of the statistic on cybercrimes.I was always being laid back when it comes to this matter. Infact I would always thought I will not be a victim.
I saw the statistic...the fastest growing age group of child pornography is aged 1-3. I am shocked. I never really realised that our world IS the virtual world. I can say "so what" if someone in Facebook gossips about me. But I can't say "so what" if someone put a photoshopped photo of me naked. That is still me and I have a reputation to protect for my career, family and friends.
The iPredators out there have countless methods to get our information. Just a simple sharing of a picture at my living room can prompt thieves to know my door structure/ alarm/ security of the house. I have actually given the info on what tools to bring to break into my house. I thought I shared minimal info...but an opportunist with a motive will see what we usually do not see.
Cyberbully, cybergrooming & identity theft does not stop from one end of the computer. It will follow you to the real physical harm because what's behind those computers are human. I will definitely prepare a lesson on this to raise awareness among the students. I need to make them paranoid just so they pay more attention to the urgency in my intention to protect themselves.
