As long as you are not invading the other’s privacy I think it’s quite ok to be a little bit curious. It means you care about and you are interest in your spouse’s activities. But in cases when you want to check his/her activity repeatedly, you take the mobile without the other’s knowledge and read the SMS there is more that curiosity. There are more situations:

• Jealousy. Sadly, this is a feeling that can harm pretty much a relationship because people suffering of jealousy are imaging things and exaggerating things that are not necessary true. This feeling is pushing them into spying the ones they love and creating often situation in which they are the victims.
• Lack of confidence. This appears in cases when one of the spouses was disappointed by the other one and the confidence level between them is very low. In these situations in order to regain the confidence and to assure that his/her spouse its devoted might decide to spy on him. In this category we can include the cheated ones.
• Possessiveness. This goes hand in hand with jealousy. Because in most cases a jealous person is a possessive person.
• Suspiciousness. Usually in a couple, if something does not work well you start to feel this and to ask yourself all kinds of questions. In the search for an answer people will definitely take advantages of any spy resources they have.

These were the main reasons and situations why people are pushed to spy on each other but there will be always other reasons. Sometimes is only the desire to control on the other one, sometimes you think of it as a game, but always the desire of spying has deepest meanings that we must search for them in our souls.

If you have any situations or cases when someone spies on the ones he/she loves, please let us know in the comments below. And don’t forget to tell us you opinion regarding this.

A new form of harassment seems to be introduced in our daily life: online harassment. A movie star from South Korea committed suicide because of the pressures and malicious comments that appeared systematically about her, online.
The actress was found dead in apartment or on Oct. 2. Police investigations conclusions were that she took her life because of the humiliation that she felt because of all online posting about her.
This tragedy revealed many such cases of suicides caused by harassment in the Cyberspace.

Cyberstalkers (as they were named) use a variety of techniques to harass their victims, including sending hostile e-mails, publishing falsehoods about them in chat rooms and Usenet postings and even posing as the victims in provocative Internet communications and e-mail messages to others.

And the cyberstalking problem appears to be getting worse, experts say. The cyberstalking phenomenon appears to be part of a “migration” of traditional crimes – including threats, child pornography, fraud, gambling and extortion — from the physical to the online world.

Many cases involve ex-spouses, former lovers or estranged relatives, but some cyberstalkers are strangers who have simply taken a dislike to their victims for some reason.

However we didn’t found any data here about those under 18 years harassed online. Maybe the parents reported for them, or maybe they didn’t tell anyone about what happened. Anyhow, more and more organizations publish online guides about privacy and online threats. You can find them at a simple web search.

This is just a scam to steal the password from your e-mail account. In any circumstance you should never give your password to anyone. No legitimate web service or customer service representative will ask for your password or need it. There is no magic service or email address or a sequence of commands that will reveal the passwords of users.

The easiest way in finding, monitoring and recording information in a safe manner is using key logging software which records every keystroke. It’s not only a very effective techniques but it’s also very safe and legal if you are using a KeyLogger on your computer for recording keystrokes of other users while they are using it.
