“Bullying builds character like nuclear waste creates superheroes. It’s a rare occurrence and often does much more damage than endowment”- Zack W. Van
I am writing this blog on cyberbullying and my objective was to give you awareness about each and every single thing that could happen in one’s life. Cyberbullying is where somebody bothers you on the web. Social media remains the best tool for the menace.
It can take place through SMS, content, and applications, or online in internet-based life, discussions, or gaming where individuals can see, take part in, or offer substance.
Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, destructive, false, or mean substance about some other person. It also includes sharing individual, or private data about another person, causing shame or mortification. Some cyberbullying goes too far into unlawful or criminal conduct.
The most widely recognized spots where cyberbullying happens are web-based life. For example, facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter. We focus so much on our differences, and that is creating, I think, a lot of chaos and negativity and bullying in the world.
So now a days, we are hearing a lot about cyberbullying. On a morning few days back, my phone rang. I received the call and one of my friends told me that my facebook account was hacked.
I immediately checked my account to recover it but the hacker changed my all private settings which could recover my account. At that time, I was totally blank because the hacker was using my account and talking with my friends and he also asked them for money on my behalf. He was also hacking my friends’ account. I asked everyone to report my account immediately. He was continuously demanding money from my friends.
At that time, I was upset; my account had all my personal information. I contacted with my friends and told them that my account was hacked by someone so please be aware and don’t reply on my account messenger.
The person who hacked my facebook account also hacked my backup account so that I couldn’t be able to recover my account. After making multiple attempts, I was totally hopeless but one of my friends told me that I could recover my account. He asked me to lodge a complaint with facebook. I started the process.
After verifying some information, they asked me for new email or password for the account. After that within an hour, they asked me to operate my account. Then I put more security on my account to make it more and more secure. So you all make sure about your private staff and don’t open any kind of link that puts you in trouble. Stay happy.
