Do you know how to report a computer crime? Or even who you would report it to?

So far, we have looked at phishing and SQL injection attacks, unauthorised email account access and malware in our series of articles on how to report a computer crime. In this article, we'll look at trolls.

We'll look at what offences are committed in different countries when a crime like this happens, how you should report the crime, and what evidence you can preserve.

Take this scenario:

Annie has split up with her boyfriend, Greg, of three years.
Greg is upset by this and seeks retribution by posting slurs about Annie’s reputation using toe-curling vocabulary on a social networking site.
