June 14, 2024: Friday Op-Ed: Get CyBer Smart - A book for the vulnerable in your family

I'll be honest upfront, this Friday's Op-Ed is a bit self-serving as it introduces the first chapter of my upcoming book "Get Cyber Smart: A User-friendly Guide to Protecting Your Family, Your Business, and Yourself, online.
The book releases on June 28, but I discuss who the book is for and read a bit from the introduction.
PLEASE Give a listen and TELL a friend (or family member).
Thoughts/comments/suggestions are welcome at darren@thecyburguy.com.
