You look at the resulting web page without asking if it is legitimate. You type personal information and click OK. You inadvertently provide valuable information to a hacker. Maybe you have already experienced this. You find out after-the-fact. Here are the symptoms: You find unauthorized charges on your credit card bill. A bank account has been drained to zero or your balance is unexplainably low. You cannot access your files or your computer in general because all your files are encrypted, and someone is demanding a ransom payment. You receive letters from your bank because your checks are being returned as Insufficient Funds. Yes, you're bouncing checks. You apply for a loan and learn someone in another city used your credit to purchase a big-ticket item, such as a car, while leveraging your credit score. You receive notice from your insurer that someone has redeemed your benefits. Not you. You receive an annual notice from the Social Security Administration advising you of your entitlements. They are lower than last year. You still work. In How Hacks Happen and how to protect yourself, Mark Anthony Germanos and Brad Cracker show you how hackers think, work, and exploit. They present fake web pages and show you how to vet them. Germanos and Cracker share where your passwords spread and how to reclaim them. They explain how social media sites monetize your personal information and how to reduce the information you share. How Hacks Happen is for anybody who uses the Cloud and feels technology is "too much to handle." Let somebody else become the victim. You read How Hacks Happen and you are safe.

As a small business owner, family man and tech pundit, Scott finds himself leading a compromised life. By day, he runs a successful security company and reports on the latest cyber breaches in the hopes of offering solace and security tips to millions of viewers. But by night, Scott begins to realize his worst fears are only a hack away as he falls prey to an invisible enemy. When a mysterious hacker begins to steal thousands from his bank account, go through his trash and rake over his social media identity; Scott stands to lose everything he worked so hard for. But his precarious situation only fortifies Scott's position as a cybersecurity expert and also as a harbinger for the fragile security we all cherish in this digital life. Amidst the backdrop of major breaches such as Target and Sony, Scott shares tips and best practices for all consumers concerning email scams, password protection and social media overload: Most importantly, Scott shares his own story of being hacked repeatedly and bow he has come to realize that the only thing as important as his own cybersecurity is that of his readers and viewers. Part cautionary tale and part cyber self-help guide, Hacked Again probes deep into the dark web for truths and surfaces to offer best practices and share stories from an expert who has lived as both an enforcer and a victim in the world of cybersecurity.

Book excerpt: A hands-on introduction to ethical hacking for a younger audience. The purpose of ethical hacking is to evaluate the security of computer systems, networks, or system infrastructure and to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activities are possible. Hacking for Kids is for the beginner who wants to start exploring ethical hacking in this virtual hacking laboratory. Ethical hacking is the art of evaluating the security of computer systems, networks, or system infrastructure to find holes or vulnerabilities and to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activities are possible. The book begins with an introduction to ethical hacking concepts and then demonstrates hands-on the steps necessary to execute specific attacks. Early attacks covered in the book are simple and engaging; designed to give readers the skills necessary to tackle more advanced exploits. The book's emphasis on ethical or "white hat" hacking demonstrates the importance of balancing security against convenience; in other words, sometimes it can be hard to stay safe on a computer. Readers learn how to avoid phishing, viruses, and ransomware as well as how attackers steal passwords on saved websites or gain access to a computer and its files without a username or password.
