Personal Security

Scam protection, password & online safety ebooks for households

Nobody should need a computer science degree to stay safe online. The Personal Security series is a shelf of short, plain-language guides that walk you through the threats real households actually face: scam calls and phishing emails, weak or reused passwords, unsafe home and public Wi-Fi, online banking risks, fake online stores, social media privacy traps, robocalls, health-insurance cons, identity theft, and what happens to your digital accounts when you're gone. Each book focuses on one topic, explains it in everyday words with real-world examples, and ends with checklists and a "do this today" action box you can act on the same day — no jargon, no scare tactics, just clear steps in a calm order. Written for households in the United States and Canada, with both countries' agencies, credit bureaus, and fraud-reporting numbers covered wherever they differ, so the phone numbers and links you get are the right ones for you. Every title is a short, focused read of under 15 pages, priced at just $9 to make starting easy — pick the one worry that's on your mind today, fix it this afternoon, and come back for the next. Buy them individually or collect the shelf: together they form a complete, plain-language home security routine for your money, your devices, and your identity.
