1. Recording Skype Conversations.
Did you ever notice some unusual activity during your skype
conversations? When someone is more focused on their cam and still moving for
some reason and trying to talk to you as they’re interested. That’s when you’re
getting recorded. Sharing this recorded conversation on the internet can be
threatful and scary but you can do that and also may get away with it.
2. Blocking advertisements.
We all visit youtube every day and suffer from watching
those lame ads and waiting for the video to play. But now you can install
AD-blocker extensions and skip those ads automatically. Not only youtube this
method works with all the websites and even Google ads. But most of the people
are annoyed these days because these ad-blockers are causing less performance
speed in chrome.
3. Being An Active User Of eBay Without Declaring The Income
Most of the people use eBay for selling and for purchasing
purpose, but few make it as their profession to sell things and purchase. When
this activity goes on regularly you are basically earning money by just
visiting a site and you think don’t need to pay any tax? Well if you’re earning
loads of money and made it as your profession then you should pay your taxes if
not you’re gonna get in trouble by the tax department.
4. Sharing Subscription Passwords.
What most of the Netflix users think is, by sharing their
account’s password to their friends and family they save money of other
subscription. But they’re wrong and they will end up waking up in prison if
they do so.
5. Underage Facebook Accounts.
Facebook is a very famous social networking site and it is
at the tip of everyone’s tongue. When a user is creating facebook account
he/she must go through the terms of conditions. But it is a big joke these days

id by giving the wrong information which is illegal.
6. Faking The IP Address

addresses and they do every possible thing to hide them. but the problem is
that when you’re trying to hide is or mask it you are doing nothing wrong in
fact it is not illegal and there is no law that says it is. But when you’re
changing or falsely entering the same will take you to jail and pay some huge
fines.

It is completely wrong and not acceptable if you’re using
someone’s unsecured Wi-Fi without their permission. But most of the users do
not care about the consequences and walk away when done with the Wi-Fi. But
under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, doing this could be considered as
theft. So then ext time you’re on someone’s Wi-Fi watch your back.
8. Cyberbullying

According to Title 18, Section 875, Subsection C of the United States Penal
Code “Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication

of another, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five
years, or both.”
