Good security tips
It's always refreshing to hear actual examples of hacks that have occurred and why, since these are often covered up. One real life example is worth a hundred vague suggestions
A highly practical introduction to cyber security
Hacked Again is easy to digest and understand. The author, Scott, recalls his own misfortune as a victim of hackers. Scott is a cyber security expert (yes, that's right, they get hacked too) and shares a wealth of knowledge that may be used as valuable security advice for both your personal or business information.
I thoroughly enjoyed the stories shared and certainly follow some of the advice myself. This is a book I will happily return to.
Something Everyone Should Hear
What did you love best about Hacked Again?
Scott Shober's hacked again was very well written and the narration on the audible version was equally was great. The book goes over the very basics of modern security such as how not to write a password before going into more advanced topics and describes some infamous hacks and how they could have been prevented. The book seems to be targeted toward mainly toward business owners, but I highly recommend this to anyone using modern technology.
stories from the front line
Mr. Schober writes from being there on the front lines of cybercrime fighting. Thrust into this role by the criminals themselves, he tells the tales in a language that is technical and accessible to those outside the tech field. These firsthand accounts are a great example of what is really going on. It also contains proven techniques to protect the average person from becoming another cybercrime statistic.
