Following a four-day trial in front of Judge Peter J. Maceroni, a Macomb County jury convicted 26-year-old Nhia Lee of harassing and intimidating a beauty pageant queen, Mai Hlee Xiong. After three hours of deliberating, the conviction was announced on Friday at 2pm at the Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens, Michigan. Nhia Lee was found guilty of “unlawful posting of a message,” a cyber stalking law that carries a maximum penalty of two years of incarceration and up to $5,000 in fines.

“Mr. Lee and his attorney used the pageant and traditional Hmong cultural values as the basis for justifying Mr. Lee’s actions. However, no one in this world regardless of his or her background and status deserves to be the victim of any crime.

My pageant background plays only a minor role in my entire life. Though I am thankful and worked hard to earn my pageant titles, I consider many other accomplishments to be of greater value and importance than a Hmong pageant. He set out to strip me of my crown and instead he stripped me of my entire life as a human being and an American citizen. He violate every aspect of my life publicly, privately and professionally. Mr. Lee set out to use the most modern and sophisticated forms of technology to justify ancient cultural values and moral obligations.

Though I could not prove it at first, I have known in my heart for a long time that Mr. Lee intentionally lied to me and was guilty of the crime he committed. I am thankful to know that the cyber stalking law and the legal system was enacted to protect citizens like me.

My family and I are very much overjoyed and thankful that Mr. Lee will be held accountable for the crime that he committed against me. At the same time, I am also very saddened that the Hmong community had to suffer as a direct result of Mr. Lee’s criminal acts. I hope that this terrible incident will allow our people to grow stronger and change for the better.” – Mai Hlee Xiong

Spam, or unsolicited e-mail, is sent indiscriminately to millions of recipient addresses around the globe every day. These addresses are often obtained illegally, through the tapping of network communications, by individuals and companies that specialise in creating e-mail distribution lists.

There is little doubt spam is becoming more closely linked to the broad spectrum of cyber-crime which, like any form of crime, will be with us for many years to come. It`s no longer a question of resolving the spamming problem, but of managing it with ever more sophisticated ways. -mydigitallife

“Bad guys can see all the things you post. You may be revealing personal information that is extremely valuable.”

Even seemingly innocent information posted on profile pages can sometimes provide opportunities for criminals.

For example, names of grandparents or pets in posted pictures can tip hackers off to answers for typical challenge questions asked before providing information about “forgotten passwords” to online accounts. – newsday.com

Facebook has been the victim of five different security problems in the past week, says Trend Micro.

According to the security firm, four hoax applications have become available on the social network along with a new variation of the Koobface virus, which was first detected at the end of last year, and directs users to a fake YouTube page where they are encouraged to install malware. – PC World

Facebook applications were never meant to be installed. If you are not sure what the application does exactly and receive an invite from an unknown person, don’t install the application to your profile! Most applications are useless, and keep in mind that anyone can create an application. That includes criminals and stalkers who have a lot more time on their hands to do terrible things like this.

Thank you for visiting QuitStalkingMe.com.

You may have heard that in 2008 I was the victim of a cyber stalker who defamed me on the internet. After months of investigation, the Warren Police Department and the Macomb County Prosecutor determined through forensic evidence that the culprit behind this criminal activity is a man named Nhia Lee, who also goes by the name of “Tyler” or “Tong Chai”.

I have not taken steps to sue Mr. Lee or anyone in this matter. However, using my web knowledge I was able to help the Warren Police in their investigation to determine that Mr. Lee was hiding behind a computer, anonymously cyber stalking and harassing me. I have asked law enforcement to ensure that he be prosecuted and, if found guilty, that he be punished to the fullest extent of the law for his actions. Nhia Lee is charged with one count of a two-year felony by the state of Michigan, in Macomb County, the cybercrime of “Unlawful Posting of a Message” case no 09-. Mr. Lee has publicly admitted to committing the malicious acts that constitute this crime. As of March, 2, 2009, he is released on bail for $15,000. He currently resides in Shelby Township, Michigan.

Individuals can be subject to cyberstalking… but so can small business and corporations. A new report from the Federation of Small Businesses released recently that over 50% of small business were victims of cyber crimes or fraud.

The Federation of Small Businesses released a report that shows over 50% of small businesses fell prey to fraud or cyber crime within the last 12 months. The report also revealed that 37% encountered phishing emails, 15% were victims to card-not-present fraud and 15% were attacked by viruses and hackers’ break-in.

But what is notable with the report is that 1/3 of businesses do not report fraud or online crime to the police or banks on the grounds that they ‘believe that it would not achieve anything’. Over half of the polled said they would like to know more about how and where to report these types of crime with 44% stated they want a specifically named contact in their local police force responsible for tackling fraud and online crime.

85% expressed their interest in creating a special reporting center in England and Scotland so that they would be able to report incidents to this body. The report shows that fraud with a financial impact cost small businesses between £500 and £5,000, while the average cost across the sector is £768 a year. – Ecommerce Journal
