Scams, Security and Over-Sharing: Controlling your information and staying safe online

Many of us live our whole lives online. It’s where we shop, order food, chat with friends, watch movies, listen to music, book travel, bank and so much more. Yet little do many of us realise how open we are being about our lives and with our information. The problem we face however, is that no matter how cautious we are with what we actively put online ourselves, we’re never going to be 100% secure no matter what we do.

This book isn’t about cybersecurity, it’s about life. Specifically, connected life in the 21st century. It’s about the behaviours we need to change and the threats we need to be aware of to ensure that we can keep ourselves and our families as safe as possible in the new connected world.

We are the pioneers in connectivity and this world is evolving in a way that none of us has ever seen before.

Jon White tackles elements of 21st century life which will be familiar to all consumers – from social media, to email hacking, to content theft, to connected devices and even connected cars. The book steers clear of just dryly delivering facts but uses true anecdotes to tell stories of the dangers of connectivity to us all, every day, and how we can make simple changes to live our connected lives more safely.

Scams, Security and Over-sharing provides honest, jargon-free advice on how to keep your data safe in an increasingly complex digital world.
