Cyberstalking assistance from AICS practitioners.
Persistent, unwanted contact, surveillance, impersonation or harassment carried out through digital channels. AICS practitioners help you document it, lock it down, and take it through the appropriate authority.
What cyberstalking looks like
Cyberstalking is the deliberate, repeated use of digital channels – email, social media, SMS, messaging apps, accounts, devices, spyware, location tracking – to intimidate, threaten, monitor or harass a person. It frequently combines several techniques: a stalker may set up impersonation accounts, attempt account takeover, install monitoring tools on devices, or harvest information from social media and public records. The pattern of behaviour is what makes it cyberstalking, not a single incident.
How AICS members help
Evidence the pattern
Capture screenshots, headers, metadata and timestamps in a way that stands up to scrutiny by police, lawyers or the court. Disorganised evidence is the most common reason matters fail.
Find the access path
Identify how the stalker is reaching you – compromised accounts, leaked credentials, installed spyware, shared devices – and close it down.
Lock down identity and accounts
Reset credentials, harden 2FA, revoke shared logins, audit linked devices, scrub leaked personal information where possible.
Report to the right authority
Police, eSafety Commissioner, platform abuse teams. AICS practitioners help prepare reports that the authority can act on.
In immediate danger?
If you or someone with you is in immediate physical danger, call 000. AICS assistance is for documenting, locking down and reporting the digital side of the matter, not for emergency response.
