Cybercrime And Cybersecurity: The Guide To Protect Yourself From Cybercrime

Do you use computers, smartphones, and the internet? If you do, this book will help to protect yourself from cybercrime. How can we fight these mysterious hidden figures?



The stereotype that cybercrime is committed by mysterious hoody-wearing hackers is harmful. It encourages a feeling of hopelessness about how to protect ourselves and our information.



As technology has evolved exponentially since the advent of the Internet, and because each subsequent generation does not know a time without being connected via smartphones, social media, and emails, this book also provides a brief history of computing and the Internet, hacking, social engineering and cybercrime.



This book seeks to complement these by providing an accessible narrative about cybercrime and cybersecurity for all people. Hope the book will be read by a larger audience both technical and non-technical and help raise awareness of cybercrime. There are things we all can do to protect ourselves against cybercrime and hackers without the need to be highly computer literate.
