Cybercriminals earn over $100 billion annually, and every year their tactics become more stealthy and sophisticated. The development and distribution of new malicious software has grown from a few hundred thousand pieces in 2006 to over a hundred million pieces a year in 2013. Who will save us? Unfortunately, our government is just as susceptible to cyberthreats as we are. This means we all must learn what we can in order to save ourselves and protect the people we love. Luckily, this isn’t nearly as difficult as it sounds! Stop Cyber Crime from Ruining Your Life! Sixty Secrets to Keep You Safe uses a casual tone to demystify the subject while teaching readers about the very real dangers of cyber-thieves and predators. This easy-to-read, useful, non-technical book offers simple rules and tools that protect readers and their loved ones from losing everything to cybercriminals. An invaluable new resource by Cynthia James, the book makes protection as painless as possible while ensuring we learn the basics of cybercrime so we can dodge costly mistakes that can leave us vulnerable. This guide should arm readers with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to start protecting themselves immediately. It includes information on the methods cyber criminals use, how to avoid getting infected, and warnings such as the fact that 401ks aren’t insured against a cyber attack. Filled with everything you need to know about what you fear most, this book is the ideal resource for the war on cybercrime - it will have you ready to fight back in no time. Written by an expert in cyber-security, Stop CyberCrime from Ruining Your Life! serves as an authority on the subject. At a time when the average person desperately needs information on how to protect themselves, James has created a unique resource that can help everyone. While many books addressing cybersecurity are overly technical, too specialized, or simply outdated, this remarkable guide serves as an easy and practical way to get all the answers readers need. As interesting as it is trustworthy, this one-of-a-kind resource is a must-own for anyone looking to protect themselves or someone they love from the damaging effects of cybercrime. James has over twenty-five years of professional experience in the high-tech industry, the last seven spent exclusively focused on cybersecurity. She possesses one of the most rigorous security certifications in the world, the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), which requires knowledge of the best security practices within ten different areas, including physical and software development and encryption. In James’ job with Kaspersky Lab, the largest privately held anti-cybercrime company in the world, James speaks, writes, and teaches extensively about cybercrime. She has written this book to address the growing gap between the complex realities of the cybercrime environment and the average person’s need for simplified information and basic protection.

Deb Atwood, author of Moonlight Dancer
5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful tips in an easy-to-understand guide
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2013
When it comes to matters technological, my husband calls me (affectionately, I hope) a newfus. This portmanteau word is a combination of newbie and dufus. You get the picture. I am techno-challenged. So, it was a delight to come across this book with its easy to understand tips for the woman or man on the street. "Swirl the Earl" is a fun example of a safety tip even I can remember.

With this guide you can easily find out how to steer Grandma away from phony "investigator" scams and how to protect your favorite nephew from rent frauds. Not to mention your widower Dad who's testing the online dating waters.

Most important, however, are clear instructions to keep your home finances safe from cyber predators. In a few minutes a clever Internet thief can destroy investments and peace of mind, so it's good to have some tools to stop cyber crime from ruining our lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent info for Parents too!
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2013
The clear format makes a complicated and intimidating topic easy to understand and implement.
This is essential information for anyone starting an online business.
I am using the book for business planning and employee training.
"Stop Cyber Crime..." comes at the perfect time too, for all of us with school aged kids navigating a world of information and systems online. (see, it's not just your paranoid Mum!)
Are any seminars planned for Canada (Vancouver) this year?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great information that is not easily realized.
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2013
I don't read books much, but this book I am going to keep as a reference. Simple eye opener ideas, especially chapter 8 for me. Also lots of info for parents - they should teach this type of information in all schools!
