Level: Beginner to Intermediate - eBook (10th Anniversary Edition - April 2024)

Antivirus software is now incredibly advanced, yet every day thousands of people fall for email phishing scams and are tricked into installing malware, the same way that a sophisticated alarm system and door security is not much use if you open the door to let a criminal in.

With 47 chapters split into 'Stuff you need to know' and 'Things you need to do', this illustrated 222 page eBook, with over 100+ images of real scams and attacks, explains why you cannot just rely on technology, due to the various scams and tricks used by cyber criminals. It is an easy to understand guide of the most commonly faced security threats any user is likely to come across via email, social media and online shopping. Because now, one wrong click can cost you a lot of money and inconvenience.

Also includes free updates with new content as the threats evolve. Please note, this book is aimed at everyday users, it is not aimed at people studying professional security certifications like CISSP.
