What is cyberstalking?
<p>What constitutes cyberstalking? If I contacted a person online 4 times is that cyberstalking? (3 times were over email apologising for accidentally nearly logging onto their account and the 4th time I replied to a question, using a different account, that they posted on a forum which was about trying to identify who has been sending them emails. That question was asked weeks ago and days before I made the mistake of accidentally nearly logging on. I’ve subsequently deleted my reply).</p>

<p>There is no legal definition of cyberstalking- it is simply an extension of regular stalking and harrassment.</p>
<p>Suffice to say, there is no hard limit on how many times you can talk to the same person. I'm not sure why you thought there would be.</p>
<p>Besides attempting to log into their account (and even that isn't a crime if it was accidental and unsuccessful), nothing you have done has broken the law.</p>
