Every new device and online service you use that improves your life also opens new doors for attackers looking to discover your passwords, banking accounts, personal photos, and anything else you want to keep secret.

The FBI wants to backdoor your smartphone. So does the NSA. They failed with Apple's iPhone but like most bullies, they'll try softer targets - targets that don't fight back. That's why unless you've got the proper tools to ward them off, they'll return. Be ready for them. Buy this book and master anonymity and give the NSA a burn notice they'll never forget. A lot of books say install this, avoid that, but here you'll find easy steps to starve the beast.

A highly practical introduction to cyber security
Hacked Again is easy to digest and understand. The author, Scott, recalls his own misfortune as a victim of hackers. Scott is a cyber security expert (yes, that's right, they get hacked too) and shares a wealth of knowledge that may be used as valuable security advice for both your personal or business information.
I thoroughly enjoyed the stories shared and certainly follow some of the advice myself. This is a book I will happily return to.

Something Everyone Should Hear
What did you love best about Hacked Again?
Scott Shober's hacked again was very well written and the narration on the audible version was equally was great. The book goes over the very basics of modern security such as how not to write a password before going into more advanced topics and describes some infamous hacks and how they could have been prevented. The book seems to be targeted toward mainly toward business owners, but I highly recommend this to anyone using modern technology.

stories from the front line
Mr. Schober writes from being there on the front lines of cybercrime fighting. Thrust into this role by the criminals themselves, he tells the tales in a language that is technical and accessible to those outside the tech field. These firsthand accounts are a great example of what is really going on. It also contains proven techniques to protect the average person from becoming another cybercrime statistic.

Informative and Useful information.
Would you listen to Hacked Again again? Why?
I would listen to it again to fully digest all the little tips that are mentioned at the end of each chapter.
Who was your favorite character and why?
no characters to speak of.
What about John Pruden’s performance did you like?
This is the first time that i have heard a book narrated by John Pruden and his performance was perfect for the subject matter and made some of the more technical stuff easier to listen to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I tend to listen to books whilst i drive and my job often involves 1-2 hour driving stints which makes it easy to listen to in one day. i think it would be easy to listen to at home in one hit for sure.
Any additional comments?
Scott N Schober has been brave by admitting that his company was hacked more than once considering the business that he is in. Some of the information and advise may seem obvious but judging by the amount of people that are hacked every day this information is often ignored and people need to take note. I was a victim of account hacking on my PayPal account a few years ago and can relate to the hassle of getting your money back.Since then i have always changed my passwords but now will start layering my security as per the advise in this book. I would recommend this to anyone with a gadget that connects to the internet as you can never be too safe can you!!!!!!

Great perspective for the uninitiated.
What made the experience of listening to Hacked Again the most enjoyable?
Hacked Again is an easy listen that will resonate most with individuals not deeply familiar with cyber security. For that audience, the book provides excellent insights and advice that will clearly help people to take steps to secure themselves online. Scott’s use of personal examples, including the sharing of cases where he himself was hacked, is compelling. More awareness of these risks and how to manage them is needed, and Scott’s book helps to fill this gap.

Conversational security for the masses!
What made the experience of listening to Hacked Again the most enjoyable?
This extremely informative book is well-presented and easy to follow. The information provided was very conversational, hence the headline of this review. So much in fact, that as a security professional myself, I caught myself a number of times talking to the car stereo, seeking to expand upon various topics with real-world relevance to not only my professional life, but my personal experiences with identity theft as well.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Scott Schober's character is presented in such a manner that I the listener could really relate to the frustration of being "Hacked Again"!
What about John Pruden’s performance did you like?
John Pruden gives a masterful performance. He artfully convey's the essence and message of the story, while adding dramatic flair and genuine emotion to a story that needs to reach a large audience.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Hacked Again sums things up quite nicely.

Interesting story and lots of useful information
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would recommend this book to friends to help them understand how to keep their accounts safe online. This book tells more about a security business that is exploited several times and while they are a bigger target everyone should be careful.
What other book might you compare Hacked Again to and why?
It's comparable to The Art of Deception, The Art of Intrusion, Ghost in the Wires (all by Kevin Mitnick).
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, If I could have listened in one sitting I would have.
