I am here to help other victims deal with all forms of online harassment. As a victim I do understand the impact it can have on peoples lives but more importantly coming from a technical background I am also in a better position than most to provide practical advice and support.

I have been dealing with these types of companies and know how frustrating it is and have through trial and error found the most effective ways to make complaints and force them to take action.
This book includes a number of different response strategies because no single response or strategy is suitable for all situations. While I have drawn on my own personal experience with my cyber stalker I have looked at the entire problem of online harassment.
We look at the primary motivations for harassment and consider the most appropriate response for each. This book will be equally relevant to:
A company executive that is being harassed by a competitor who is trying to destroy their online reputation.
A person that is the subject of a personal vendetta by another person that has moved their grudge online.
Someone that has become the focus of an online sociopath intent on wreaking as much havoc in their lives as they can.
Someone that has expressed an opinion or belief that… Read more…
