But the danger doesn’t always come from social media strangers. Nonetheless, the amount of information you inadvertently give out through social media, as well as the precautions you take to ensure the safety of your data, determine your vulnerability to cybercrime. Women are considered more vulnerable to online bullying and other cybercrimes because they are more likely to overly share their feelings and other personal details on social media platforms. Some of the most committed cybercrimes on the female gender are aggressive trolling through body-shaming on social media. Julie Gichuru, Judith Nyambura, alias Avril, and Adelle Onyango are some of the personalities who have suffered heavy trolling on social media but were able to rise above it.
