Cybersecurity Expert Rex Calloway Releases 'Stop Doing Dumb Shit Online,' a Practical Guide to Everyday Internet Safety
Stop Doing Dumb Shit Online by Rex Calloway
The book grew out of questions Rex repeatedly received from friends, relatives, and clients. Concerns about suspicious emails, unfamiliar phone permissions, password reuse, and questionable links revealed a need for accessible explanations grounded in everyday situations.
Availability
The book is available in Kindle, paperback, or hardcover editions on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HLY56GPK
Practical Guidance for Common Online Risks
Across ten chapters, the book "Stop Doing Dumb Shit Online" examines passwords, phishing, device security, social media, public Wi-Fi, email, scams, money and credit, and personal security planning. Its focus includes the habits that can leave people exposed, such as ignoring updates, sharing excessive personal information, and using the same password across multiple services.
Readers can explore password managers, two-factor authentication, home Wi-Fi protection, and identity security. The guide also explains the purpose of VPNs and addresses what to do when something goes wrong.
Email receives dedicated attention because of its connection to account access, recovery messages, and personal communications. By explaining why individual precautions matter, Rex encourages readers to make informed decisions about their online routines.
"Every chapter has specific, concrete actions," writes Rex, author and cybersecurity professional, in the book's introduction. "Some of them will take you thirty seconds. Some will take twenty minutes."
Flexible Chapters Support Immediate Action
Each chapter stands independently, allowing readers to begin with the concern most relevant to them. Someone dealing with a suspected scam can turn to that subject, while another reader can focus on passwords or device settings.
The book connects explanations with behavioral changes readers can make without a technical background. A chapter on developing a personal security plan brings the subjects together and encourages readers to follow through on the steps they identify.
Supporting material includes quick references, recommended tools and resources, a glossary, and information about where to report fraud. These sections provide additional reference points as readers revisit questions or address new concerns.
The guide is intended for people who rely on technology for everyday activities and want a clearer understanding of the risks surrounding those activities.
