Answer & Explanation: Cyber-bullying refers to harrassment through digital means such as mobile devices, social media and other digital channels. Cyber-bullying is a form of online bullying or cyber-harrassment.

Individuals especially youths get harrased online on a daily basis. Such cyber-bullying could be in form of threats to reveal certain secrets online (e.g. naked pictures of the individuals); harrassment of others using stolen identities of the individual. Also some go as far as spreading false information about individuals.
