ABSTRACT
The previous two chapters considered deception on the Internet. This chapter continues to look at the dark side of cyberspace by considering how people might use this space to cheat on their of¯ine partners. The Internet is replete with stories about people who have engaged in cyber-affairs. Internet in®delity has accounted for a growing trend in divorce cases (Baker 2005). Support groups for aggrieved spouses are sprouting up online and monitoring software has been developed to check up on one's suspected cyber-cheating spouse.
