Three Little Hackers

Book excerpt: In a world where young children are increasingly participating in online activities many parents worry about the dangers of the internet. The greatest vulnerability that kids face is criminals posing as children online to lure kids into compromising situations. I wrote Three Little Hackers so parents can have an important conversation about how criminals use social engineering and how to guard their privacy online. The book revamps the classic three little pigs story to help kids stay safe online. By combining a classic story that they know with real life situations they may see online, the lesson is sure to stick. Marcus J.
