Be Careful
This is a great book to learn how to better be careful in your digital touchpoints.
I can't say I learned much, as a lot of this is common sense for someone who is a professional programmer, but that aside, I still enjoyed it.
I got it as a way to learn better concepts of teaching youth security techniques for a future volunteering stint I wish to do.
3.9/5
