8th entry

What struck me the most about our discussion last meeting was how the use of friendster and sites like it and the sites themselves itself are unsafe. It made sense that people could actually use information that a person voluntarily gives out and use it to stalk them. It is just hard to think that there are people that would actually do that.

I saw on television recently that there was this family that was being threatened and stalked through their cellphones. Apparently the stalkers knew where they were all the time and knew what they were doing. The stalkers also knew what they were wearing. As a result of this the family members changed their phones and phone numbers. However, this apparently didn't work and the stalkers still threaten them.

The family believes that the stalkers uses the camera on their phones to see them. Is this possible?
