Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Mail bomb
an email containing a large file or files designed to jam an ISPs server and/or the recipient’s mail program. Once a bomb is opened, depending on the size of the file it contains, it can take hours to load. With many ISPs, a user’s penalty for mail bombing is discontinuation of service.
