Are you feeling unsure of what you need to do to digitally secure yourself, your loved ones and your business? Also, are you concerned that too much personal information are being collected by corporations (e.g., Google, Facebook) and advertisers on the Internet? Do you want to protect yourself from being tracked and followed online? Are you worried that your privacy is increasingly under threat and you are not sure what the implications will be years from now? All these concerns are signs that the dark side of the Internet is catching up upon us. Unfortunately, right from the beginning, computers and the Internet are not designed with security and privacy in mind. As a result, while they bring in untold convenience and productivity gains that you can never imagine before, they also make life easier for the hackers, cyber-criminals, scammers, advertisers, stalkers, and even your nosy neighbour. Make no mistake about it--if you are not going to do anything about it, you will eventually become a victim. If you decide today that you are going to take responsibility for your own digital security and privacy, someone else will be the victim instead. So, this book is written to open your eyes and arm yourself with detailed counter-measures against the frightening world of spies, hackers, scammers, cybercriminals, advertisers and Big Brother. Don't be a victim!
