In the era of total digitalization, it is hard to imagine life without the internet and smart devices. However, even those who act cautiously in the real world often pay insufficient attention to their digital security. Meanwhile, the consequences of such carelessness can arise at any moment: an attacker can take control of a car, and a television can record the viewers' conversations, criminals can abduct children using toys, and one can connect to cameras and spy on their owners. There are also state projects like the 'Smart City,' which imply the widespread installation of cameras and facial recognition technologies. This does not mean one should strive for digital seclusion and panic when avoiding gadgets, but it is necessary to learn and follow basic security rules. Mikhail Raitman, in his book, explains how to minimize the likelihood of personal data leaks, making it more difficult for potential attackers.
