Hack Happens: Cybersecurity for Beginners Who Don't Want to Be Next

By: Tavlas, Tolga

You were never supposed to figure this out on your own.

No one taught you how to spot a fake delivery text.
No class explained that scanning a QR code could hijack your phone.
No official warned you your smart TV might be listening.
But when it all goes wrong, they say you should've known better.

Hack Happens is the answer to that betrayal.

This isn't a book filled with jargon or vague advice.
It's a real-world survival guide for people with something to lose-parents, teenagers, small business owners, travelers. Anyone with a screen, a password, or a digital life to protect.

In 2024 alone, 28 billion personal records were exposed.
Most victims didn't even know it until the consequences hit.

Hack Happens walks you through the modern digital minefield-so you can finally get ahead of the threats.

WHAT MAKES HACK HAPPENS DIFFERENT?

This guide wasn't written in a bubble. It was built from the front lines of digital disaster.

Authored by a cybersecurity expert with 27 years of experience battling fraud and cyberattacks across financial systems in over 15 countries.Shaped by real-world questions, drawn from millions of views and thousands of engagements from people who were concerned, scared, overwhelmed-or already hacked.

This book reveals what others don't:

That it's not "just a phone." It holds your bank, your family photos, your two-factor codes.That it's not "just a voice." It can be cloned and used to scam your loved ones.That it's not "just a breach." It's an invitation to drain your accounts and impersonate you online.

You were left in the dark. This book turns the lights on.

You'll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a complete, actionable security checklist for every corner of your digital life.
This isn't about paranoia. It's about preparation.

Because hacks don't "just happen."
They're engineered to work-unless you know how to stop them.
