Looking for a clear, current guide to Cybersecurity Basics? Cybersecurity Basics is a 54-page illustrated PDF from the oJAYo team. Protect yourself, your family and your small business from today’s online threats, explained for beginners.
Cybersecurity means protecting your accounts, devices, data and money from criminals and mistakes online. It remains one of the most searched technology topics, and for good reason: the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received more than one million complaints in 2025 for the first time, with reported losses of $20.9 billion, up 26% on the year before.
The good news is that a handful of habits stop most attacks: strong, unique passwords stored in a password manager; multi-factor sign-in; recognizing scams; keeping software updated; and having backups. This book explains these and more in plain language, for individuals, families and small organizations.
