Cyber Predator
10
Issue in Computer Security
A Cyber predator uses the Internet to hunt for victims to take advantage of ANY way,including sexually,emotionally, psychologically or financially. Cyber predators know how to manipulate children, creating trust and friendship where none should exist.
Preferrential – Predator actively targets children by age, hair color, height, etc. They will seek out jobs that will give them as much contact with children as possible. They will also lurk around chat rooms and residential neighborhoods hijacking wireless networks and systems, communicating with children while parked right outside of the child’s home.Situational – Predator rarely seek out children but will take advantage of a situation when presented with it.

The number would have been higher but for the limited resources of the group.Here’s another horrifying fact gleaned from a report by Terre des hommes that The Heat downloaded: Three of the 1,000 men were from Malaysia.
There should be precautions taken when you engage in any social network.Do not only look out for a certain stereotype of a dangerous person, but certain types of odd behavior. Never tell anyone personal information about you or your family,privacy is something that is very important (especially on the Internet).
