"Scams, Hacking, and Cybersecurity" by May Brooks-Kempler

2025-04-28
Download

SCAMS, HACKING AND CYBERSECURITY

The internet is a powerful tool connecting us in ways unimaginable just a few decades ago. However, it also harbors risks—cyber scams, cyber crimes, and hidden dangers lurking on the dark web. Hackers and cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities to steal data, commit identity theft, and manipulate systems using social engineering.

But how safe are we online? Should we avoid the digital world entirely? Not at all. Just like real-world dangers, we can navigate online security risks with the right tools and knowledge.

This cybersecurity bible is the ultimate guide to protecting yourself in the digital landscape. Whether you're looking for cybersecurity for beginners, insights into cyber hacking and the law, or best cybersecurity books to improve your internet safety, this book equips you with practical tools and strategies.

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

May Brooks-Kempler is a cybersecurity expert whose career began in the 1990s, exploring the realms of game “cheats” and “hacks” on IRC chats. This early fascination led her through a distinguished journey in cybersecurity, from Penetration Testing to Security Architect and eventually a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Today, she is a highly sought-after strategic consultant, speaker, and mentor, known for her dynamic involvement in developing and promoting innovative cybersecurity initiatives and guiding startups.

May’s expertise and engaging delivery have made her a favorite at numerous speaking engagements, including a TEDx talk, keynotes, and commentator on critical cybersecurity issues. Her role as a podcaster further amplifies her reach, where she shares vital security insights with a global audience.

As a member of the ISC2 Board of Directors, an authorized CISSP and HCISPP instructor, and co-author, May’s dedication to advancing the cybersecurity profession is unmistakable. Her book, “Scams, Hacking and Cybersecurity – The Ultimate Guide to Online Safety and Privacy”, and her online courses, reflect her commitment to making the digital world a safer place for all, especially families, as underscored by her personal mission as a mother of three.

Through her extensive experience and influential voice in the field, May Brooks-Kempler continues to shape the future of online safety, making her a pivotal figure in the world of cybersecurity education and advocacy.

 

TOPICS OF CONVERSATION

  • Evolution of Threats: Online scams have evolved from obvious phishing emails to sophisticated ads, fake profiles, and AI-generated content.
  • Emotional Manipulation: Scammers rely on fear, urgency, and curiosity to trick people through social engineering.
  • Online Safety Habits: Good habits like thinking before sharing, using password managers wisely, and enabling two-factor authentication are essential.
  • Protecting Kids Online: Parents should teach children to think critically before posting and clicking to protect their privacy and safety.
  • Responding to Cyber Incidents: If you suspect a hack, stay calm, assess the damage, and act quickly based on the importance of the compromised asset.
