Editorial Reviews

Review

"What I liked most about this short, pithy book is the author's behind-the-scenes hard work to hide the complexities of hi-tech from the reader and present instead, in the simplest of terms, what exactly the reader needs to know or do for personal safety/security on the Internet. Consequently, it's the ideal book for the layperson—everyone who uses computers often but has little or no knowledge of cybercrime, IT, computer science, and the like."

Good info on equipment and securing it in today's environment. I do the same things after 30+ years in IT and plan to add the book info to my email tagline as a recommended tool for my clients. Buy it, read it, refer to it, use it.

The Personal Cybersecurity Manual is a comprehensive and easy to follow guide that helps readers in understanding the risks of technology and protecting their personal information, their money, their lives and that of their families. Nowadays, a great part of our life is spent online. We heavily rely on technology to solve many things, from buying goods to studying or consulting the doctor. Sometimes, we don’t realise and we don’t know that we are extremely vulnerable and that we are taking great risks when we go online. When we are at home, we protect ourselves by locking the doors, for example, and when we go out, we also protect ourselves and our things by paying attention, checking for cars before we cross the road or fastening our seat belts. We should do the same when we use the internet, we should protect our lives and the best way of doing it is by reading this excellent book. I highly recommend it.

The Personal Cybersecurity Manual: How Anyone Can Protect Themselves from Fraud, Identity Theft, and Other Cybercrimes (Home Technology Manuals) by Marlon Buchanan is a great book for anyone who is looking to protect themselves or a small business from cybercrimes. The book does a great job of showing the threats that are out there and describing what and how hackers may come after a person. There are a variety of topics covered including phishing, viruses, and identity theft. The book provides lots of insights on these topics and does so in an easy-to-follow format that anyone, regardless of their technology background, will be able to follow and apply to their life. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is nervous about these topics or has experienced one of these threats before.

4.0 out of 5 stars An essential and informative guide
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2022
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I had believed I was somewhat aware, and what I thought appropriately wary of hackers and cyberattacks, until I read this manual. As it turns out, I did not have a full appreciation or comprehension to how easily my home network, devices, data and identity can be compromised by stealth attackers. After reading this manual, I now have a much better understanding of how imperative it is to be actively engaged in protecting my family from cybersecurity breaches; breaches that can make their way into my personal data through seemingly innocent, transaction and activities. This manual not only provides a comprehensive overview of common cyber attacks you need to be aware of, but offers very doable cybersecurity practices for preventing hackers from infiltrating your home network and personal information. I also appreciated the manual style layout as it provides a ready reference and is easy to navigate. I am very happy to have discovered this author and look forward to reading his other books.

I found this book very helpful. For starters- I don't belong to any " Social Media"- no comment, I don't believe in banking online, checking account and I don't use voicemail. I realize there are other ways to be hacked or have ones identity stolen. This book explains everything and more. Apparently- theft will never end. Just stay aware and be aware. I'm going to do that and purchase the author's other 2 books. Spoiler alert- the author uses social media......
