The motivation for this book In March of 2014, Mr. DeLuccia was compelled to write the book for his family and friends. That year, a member of James' family was a victim of several identity thefts. In one instance, she was unable to buy groceries for her family because her debit card was being used fraudulently. After a passionate family discussion about how easy it is to avoid such harm, James' family members finally admitted NOBODY EVER TOLD them how to be safe and secure online! Despite 20 years of serving the corporate community, James realized there was a serious lack of education regarding cyber security in our personal lives. Since then, James has worked with professionals and regular consumers of technology (friends, parents, grandparents, high schoolers) to develop key principles that can apply to everything from social media to travel to online finances. How Not To Be Hacked began as an endeavor to teach his family about cyber security, and it became a guide for anyone who uses technology. The book includes 63 specific practices that are easy to implement and provide the foundation for a safe partnership with technology.
