Awareness and appropriate actions can prevent a lot. (  ) hjvanderklis | Apr 9, 2017 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"I'VE BEEN HACKED."Of course, you have, and if you haven't been -- you will be. Last year alone, over 3 billion records were exposed. "NOW WHAT?" What does it mean? What part did I play? What happens now? Could I have better protected my most private and personal information? How can I be safer online and in social communities? Cyber Crisis - It's Personal Now addresses these questions and many more. In an easy and informative read, author William Keiper provides crucial knowledge about social network risks, online trust and privacy, content oversharing and smartphone addiction. He also offers easy-to-follow steps you can take to improve your personal cyber security.These are things you must know for yourself and so you can teach others. When online, you, your friends, children, parents, co-workers and social acquaintances are always just one click away from a stalker, predator, thief, troll, catfish or another social media sewer dweller. Protecting you and yours is not someone else's problem--it is a matter of personal responsibility. You can start by reading Cyber Crisis - It's Personal Now. Reading Cyber Crisis will heighten your awareness of some of the factors and conditions that could, in the blink of any eye, suck you into a personal cyber crisis. It represents a warning shot for those of you predisposed to trust your fellow man in the real-world and, without thinking, carry that bias into cyberspace. My perspective as the author comes from having been a part of computer technology and software businesses since shortly after the launch of the first Apple and IBM personal computers. In these public and private technology and related companies, I have served as CEO, board member, and strategic advisor. Through this work, I gained experience, understanding, and perspective, about digital age developments and their personal impacts, good and bad. I have also written two previous books whose driving themes involve greater self-reliance in personal and business life. The Web is us, and we as a collective are the Web. After reading Cyber Crisis, my hope is that you will better understand this dynamic relationship, and will motivate you to accept a higher level of personal responsibility for your digital well-being.

We have been naïve too long. It is time to face the fact that our data is under attack, our personal info is for sale and our identities are being hacked. We have treated the online world like the real one, and it is not working for us. We are too trusting and too open to strangers, many who are out to steal from us and others who are not human at all, but mindless robots trolling our data.
Cyber Crisis is less a how-to book than a warning about how we act online. It asks us to rethink how we present ourselves on the Internet. In person, we can judge who we meet by instinct and long learned clues about who we trust. On the Internet, we have few of these opportunities, instead often trusting strangers by a single photograph. We open ourselves to all kinds of personal and financial risks.
And the risks are great. We are all aware of identity theft and its headaches, but the consequences of poor choices can have far greater reaches. Employers regularly check prospective employees online. Our very livelihoods can be harmed by one poorly posted photo. Mr Keiper is asking online users to think before they post, question before we trust and look before we leap.
Pamela Almand reads this short book well. She has a credible tone as she describes the many technical issues involved. Her voice is easy and pleasant to listen too.
Cyber Crisis presents its case well, with many new ideas for novice and expert alike. Philosophical issues about our Internet addiction and online gambling are addressed in fresh ways. The new technologies of infinite connectivity contrast sharply with the slow evolution of human face to face relationships. It will be some time before we catch up; we’d better take some basic steps to protect ourselves in the meantime.
