The practice of cyberbullying is not limited to children and, while the behavior is
identified by the same definition in adults, the distinction in age groups is referred to as
cyberstalking or cyberharassment when perpetrated by adults toward adults.
Common tactics used by cyberstalkers are to vandalize a search engine or encyclopedia,
to threaten a victim's earnings, employment, reputation, or safety.
A pattern of repeated such actions against a target by and between adults constitutes cyberstalking.
