I know how emotional one can get when one's team loses badly. I can understand it will be difficult to bear taunts from rivals ( especially since they like to rub it in ). But can this be tolerated?
Calls to rape or f*** some guy's girl friend?!! Holy cow!This is not just stooping to inhuman levels, this is something more than that and I don't have words for it! We can't blame the uncivilized anymore for this kind of behavior..even the 'civilized' do it. Give em a chance and they'll lose all the morality they have. Just goes to show how degenerate people can get. And how easily that is. Cyber laws are being taken for granted:so what do we make of it? What if these were legit threats? Who would deal with it? I know these are open ended questions that need to be answered real quick. Maybe publicity for such incidents will help gain traction for better laws, laws that cannot be taken for granted.

What I find surprising is that, cyber threats are considered more as a threat to 'consumers' not the people. When I say 'people', I mean their personal safety,their lives. I am inclined to believe that people do not understand how real threats to a person's life/integrity can be. Firms like McAfee/Adobe/Symantec ( and the like ) do not comprehend the possible gravity of the situation. This one line sums it all - Cyber criminals increasingly leverage the news of the day to attack unsuspecting consumers. One's personal integrity ain't ones bank account numbers, not their e-mail ids and not their personal details as seen on any social networking site. Wouldn't you think?
