cyberstalked
Tracked online obsessively
Cyberstalked is the past tense of cyberstalk—to persistently harass, monitor, or pursue someone through electronic means.
This includes tracking someone's online activity, sending unwanted messages, or using technology to surveil their movements: She realized she'd been cyberstalked for months when he revealed details about her life she'd never shared.
The behavior often escalates from digital intrusion to real-world threat.
