  Computer Security

  Posted by outsideassist on 03/17/2020 at 7:41 PM

  Has anyone found a good email/computer security (hacking) book for beginners? I want to gain a wee bit more knowledge so that I can avoid making missteps when using my email / browser to surf the internet. My best defense so far is avoiding opening and clicking on links within received emails, but I want to understand the top mistakes people make while using their own computer so that I don’t fall into the same pothole.

  Hey Steph,

  Check out this one:
  https://www.amazon.com/Cybersecurity-Beginners-Strategies-Essential-Prevention/dp/167423404X

  If you have Kindle Unlimited you can read it for free. Otherwise it is available by eBook or Paperback. I checked it out myself and I feel it has really great, in-depth yet easy to understand information for you. It gives you a good overview of basic tech knowledge and goes over all the different types of security risks you might encounter, why they are a problem, and how you can prevent them.

  Of course, Kim has tons of information on the topic as well!
