What happens after a social engineering attack and when the victim decides not only to recover, but also to understand exactly how the deception worked?
In I’ve Been Hacked, Dr. Aisha E. Holmes presents true accounts of individuals who experienced phishing, identity theft, impersonation, financial fraud, and other forms of digital manipulation. Names and identifying details have been changed to protect their privacy.
Through these compelling experiences, readers will discover how victims used cybersecurity knowledge and investigative techniques to examine suspicious activity, trace digital clues, document evidence, and regain control of their digital lives.
Inside, you’ll explore:
• Common social engineering tactics and warning signs
• Open-source intelligence, packet analysis, honeypots, and digital forensics
• The emotional and financial effects of cybercrime
• The legal and ethical boundaries of investigating an attacker
• The risks associated with retaliation and “hacking back”
• Practical steps for reporting incidents, recovering safely, and building digital resilience
Written for everyday technology users, students, educators, aspiring cybersecurity professionals, and anyone affected by cybercrime, I’ve Been Hacked transforms frightening experiences into valuable lessons.
You may have been targeted, but knowledge can help you recover, respond responsibly, and become harder to deceive.
