"""How Hacks Happen is an eye-opening look at well, exactly how computer hacks happen! Although I work in social media, and I am on my computer most of the day, security is not always top of mind for me. I will readily admit to committing some of the security issues described in the book, and will be tightening up my passwords and watching more closely for phishing emails. If you have become a bit lackadaisical about your computer security, this book will set you on the path to a more secure future with easy to understand illustrations and instructions."" Corey Walker, author, Instagram for Dummies and Instagram for Dummies for Business ""After working in Information Technology for the last 25 years, I have seen the growth in sophistication with hacking. Even people that are vigilant can be susceptible to hackers. The question is not if I get hacked, it is when I get hacked. Mark does a great job of covering the current landscape of hacks and what you can do to try to protect yourself and your company. I especially like the exercises he includes on the topics. Do yourself a favor and go through each exercise. No really, do each exercise. It certainly opened my eyes to ideas I had not thought."" Chuck Moehling, Senior business analyst ""Mark's Book is great, easy to read, and a MUST for anyone who uses that thing called ""THE WEB"" and its related e-mail! I've been a business lawyer for over 30 years, believe I'm fairly knowledgeable about day-to-day operation of my computer and the internet, and (having been raised in a small-town by Depression-Era parents) have a healthy suspicious mind! Nonetheless, I fell for one of these ""hacks"" (the GOOGLE LOG-IN scam), about two years ago. Mark navigated me through ""fixing it"" after-the-fact, and WISH I'd read his book BEFORE!"" Franklin T. Watson, Attorney at Law"
