Abstract:
A major challenge to digital forensic analysis is the ongoing growth in the volume of data seized and presented for analysis. This is a result of the continuing development of storage technology, including increased storage capacity in consumer devices and cloud storage services, and an increase in the number of devices seized per case. The information technology is a double-edged sword, consistently presenting us with advantages and disadvantages. The increasing opportunities for knowledge gaining, high -productivities, efficiency and worldwide faster communications are the outcomes of cyber world. In other side, the various crimes emerging out of the internet are hacking, cyber terrorism, spamming, trojan horse attacks, denial of service attacks, pornography, cyber stalking etc. However, the present article has the specific and minimum scope of focusing the issues in Cyber Stalking such as, integration of some definitions of cyber stalking, methods used to stalk the victim in online, stalkers' and victims' characteristics, magnitude of the problem in this information world, reason for stalking and in final to conclude with some suggestions for prevention of cyber stalking. On the whole, the aspiring aim of this article is to create a basic awareness on current situation and challenges.
