Her own son, Deryck Schlessinger is currently on the hot seat since his [MySpace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app) page was recently removed due to horrific, violent content. Was his MySpace page hacked by terrorists or is he just a low down dirty dog? According to Dr. Laura's handlers he is a victim of identify theft. The Pentagon backs up that story reiterating that terrorists are using MySpace to propagate hate and violence. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cybersecurity:** The incident highlights the need for stronger cybersecurity measures to protect personal and corporate online data. - **Online Identity Theft:** The case emphasizes the growing concern of online identity theft and the need for individuals and businesses to take proactive steps to safeguard their personal information. - **Social Media Safety:** The incident serves as a reminder for both individuals and organizations to be cautious about the content they share on social media platforms to prevent potential negative repercussions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Technology:** The technology industry has opportunities to develop more robust cybersecurity solutions to prevent online hacking and identity theft. - **Digital Marketing:** The incident highlights the importance for digital marketers to educate users on social media safety and encourage responsible online behavior. - **Online Privacy:** The incident underscores the need for the online privacy industry to develop innovative tools and tactics to safeguard personal information and prevent unauthorized access. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Online Exploitation Education Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childhelp.md) - [Gender-Based Violence Awareness Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-friend-max-hate.md) - [Anti-Gun Water Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antigun-water-toys-jayhayspray20-promotes-change-in-societys-relationship-w.md) - [Cybersafety-Focused Resource Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worst-childrens-library.md) - [Exclusive Cybersecurity Classes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterclass-cyberwarfare.md) - [Safety-Oriented Social Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-10.md) - [Digital Parenthood Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-parenthood-community.md) - [Domestic Violence Web Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielded-site.md) - [Online Privacy Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deleteme.md)
