Colorado ITS415 Module 2 – Cyberstalking Cases

ITS 415 Colorado State University Module 2 Identity Theft Cases Discussion

OPTION #1: CYBERSTALKING CASE STUDIES

There are several convicted cases of cyberstalking and internet fraud/abuse (e.g., Misha Glenny, a UK-based journalist, recently wrote a book on the subject matter appropriately titled Dark Markets). For this critical thinking assignment, you are required to scan the popular press (especially Wall Street Journal) and find at least five cases of individuals who have been convicted of cyberstalking, fraud and abuse. Document each case and provide a brief synopsis. What issues do these cases bring to light? What laws might attach?
