How to Become Digitally Defensive

By Alexander Prezioso

Scams no longer look suspicious. Messages sound familiar. Urgency feels real. Even careful people are being caught off guard. How to Become Digitally Defensive is a practical guide for navigating modern technology with confidence. Written in plain language, this book explains how digital threats actually work and how to protect yourself without fear or technical overwhelm. You will learn how criminals use urgency, trust, and confusion to manipulate behavior. You will learn how to recognize everyday traps in email, text messages, social media, and financial apps. Most importantly, you will learn simple habits that quietly reduce risk and restore control. This is not a book about avoiding technology. It is a book about using it intentionally. Designed for families, professionals, older adults, and anyone who wants to feel more confident online, How to Become Digitally Defensive focuses on awareness rather than anxiety and preparation rather than panic. If you use a phone, a computer, or the internet to manage your life, this book is for you.
