Mehr Freiheit und mehr Demokratie waren die großen Versprechen des Internets. Doch inzwischen konzentriert sich die Macht bei einigen wenigen Tech-Giganten. Dabei bietet das Netz selbst eine Lösung, um sein ursprüngliches Freiheitsversprechen zu bewahren: die nichtkommerzielle digitale Gegenwelt.

They called it Diaspora. In days they raised $200,000, and reporters, venture capitalists, and the digital community's most legendary figures were soon monitoring their progress. But as the months passed and the money ran out, the Diaspora Four fell victim to errors, bad decisions, and their own hubris.

The benefits of living in a digital, globalised society are enormous; so too are the dangers. The world has become a law enforcer’s nightmare and every criminal’s dream. We bank online, shop online, date, learn, work and live online. But have the institutions that keep us safe on the streets learned to protect us in the burgeoning digital world? Have we become complacent about our personal security – sharing our thoughts, beliefs and the details of our daily lives with anyone who cares to relieve us of them?

If you think an off-the-shelf antivirus program protects you, think again. Not only can't it protect you, it can't even detect sophisticated scripts that take control of your device.

Arm yourself with proactive measures and best practices to fortify your defenses. With this invaluable knowledge, you will be equipped to safeguard your organization and ensure its resilience in the face of this ever-present danger.

Although cybercrime rates are high and rising, the reality is that most victims are not aware of, or are simply not following basic guidance. For example, do you have different passwords for all of your accounts of value? How long is each password?

An inexpensive, accessible, concise, and relatively jargon-free set of online security guidance for the everyday person. The book also includes an abridged dictionary of key terms at the back taken from The Cybersecurity to English Dictionary. If you want to substantially and rapidly improve your online security to a level that will reduce most of your cybercrime risk - this is the book for you.

Confronted with concentrations of power, mass surveillance, and authoritarianism enabled by new technology, the hacking movement is trying to "build out" democracy into cyberspace.

Today, there is a new form of communication and we're in the process of building a new reality but don't really know what the future holds. There is a lot of marketing hype wrapped up in this idea of the metaverse, from Crypto, NFT, and Blockchain to digital wardrobes. To help you get a sense of how vague and complex a term the "metaverse" can be, this audiobook is written around the parameters of what the metaverse means but more importantly cybersecurity.
