Brian Krebs

The main idea presented in this book: The unwanted spam emails you receive are more than just annoying. They are actually part of a business controlled by a small group of powerful cybercriminals and pose a direct danger to everyone, regardless of whether you have ever opened a single spam email. Practical suggestion: Your password is extremely valuable. Many individuals are careless when creating strong passwords. It is important to make your passwords complex and hard to decipher. Aim to have a password with more than ten characters, and include a mix of numbers, letters, and special symbols. Recommended additional reading: The Net Delusion by Evgeny Morozov In this book, The Net Delusion, Evgeny Morozov questions the optimistic view of the internet's influence. Morozov demonstrates how the internet does not always promote democracy and freedom, but is utilized by both authoritarian and democratic governments for their own agendas. Have any comments?
