In today’s era of information technology and artificial intelligence, it’s imperative to safeguard your assets against cyber-attacks. Cybercriminals seek every possible way to steal personal and financial information.

Threats are on the rise everywhere. A data breach could bring financial ruin to an individual or a company.

Failure to educate yourself about these threats and the countermeasures to mitigate them is a risk you can no longer afford to take in the current era of high technology. STOP THE HACK offers a detailed guide that empowers you to recognize the main cyber risks and take the proper preventive measures to defend your digital assets.

This book introduces you to the most common cyber threats and methods that attackers use. It shows you how to identify the most common symptoms and prevent or reduce the effects of such attacks.

And it gives you a list of best practices that you can use to protect the sensitive information on your computer, phone, network, and social media profile. The book starts from the basics and moves to more advanced cybersecurity topics, but prior knowledge of cyber technology is not required for one to benefit from the information herein.

I have done my best to write it in a way that everyday people–students, parents, employers, small businesses owners–can grasp. Videos illustrating the step-by-step processes are available to support the text.
