Being the victim of both hacking and cyberbullying, I can say quite frankly that we Aspies fall prey to such online threats quite easily. Any one of us who would use such threats themselves to prey on others may very well be preying on people much like himself, and I find that absolutely unforgivable.
If someone hacks into another person's computer, that someone should suffer the consequences and deserves what's coming to him. All my opinion, but I feel very strongly about it.
Getting hacked is no fun...and I'm still suffering from the post-traumatic stress over a year after the fact of the 2nd cyberbully attack in as many years.
Aspies are extra vulnerable to Internet attack. We should not be attacking people online because of the more than likely chance, considering how many of us love computers, that we would end up attacking other Aspies.
Also? You aren't as anonymous online as you might think. My 2nd cyberbully quoted very personal information about me in an e-mail to me, and I have no idea where she got it all. So...online attacks? Not smart. At all.
You don't want to do it, and you don't want to be the victim of it either. Trust me on that last part. I still get nervous if a car makes more than 3 of the same turns as I do. It's that bad. At least I got over the part where I couldn't leave my house without feeling everyone who saw me was laughing at me or talking about me behind my back as soon as I left...for the most part.
