  15. Never reveal your home address • Password protect all accounts including cell phones, land lines, e-mails, banking and credit cards with a secure password that would be difficult for anyone to guess. Change it offently. • Be suspicious of any incoming emails, telephone calls or texts that ask you for your identifying information. • Never give out your Social Security Number. • Utilize stat counters or other free registry counters that will record all incoming traffic to your blogs and web sites. With a stat counter you can identify who is viewing your site or blog easily because the registry records the IP address, date, time, city, state and internet service provider.

  16. Check your credit report status regularly, especially if you're a business professional or individual who is in the public. • If you think you have a cyber stalker, move fast. Lots of people don't take action because they think they're "crazy" or imagining things. Record incidents, time, place, event. • If you think you're a target, have your PC checked by a professional. If you are already experiencing cyber stalking incidents, your computer may already be compromised. • If you encounter something suspicious, a weird phone call or an emptied account that can't be explained by your bank. It could be a cyber stalker so act accordingly. Change all your accounts, and ideally change banks. Check your credit report. Note anything else that appears strange.
