And from the Desk of Gloom, speaking of graduation season, over 9000 universities have had their technology destroyed and anyone you know that uses/used the Canvas platform needs to: change PW, start MFA and freeze and monitor their credit.

Ever notice that the people who say they don’t have time to read are the same ones with AirPods in for six hours a day?

I see you.

Moving Target: The Art of Online Camouflage is now on Audible. Every word.

And this Tuesday, Book Two drops.

Moving Target: The Obedient Machine.

The machine got smarter. The criminals got bolder. And Stevie Parker — smart, capable, mother, daughter, wife, business leader — is no longer just watching cybercrime happen to other people.

It is happening to her.

Two books. One woman. True stories.

Captured over 26 years in 400+ interviews and case studies. Built from the real law enforcement cases, actual soul-sucking criminals, and real victims I have spent decades understanding.

Stevie is smart, capable makes the mistakes we all make. She faces what most of us are not prepared for. And she wins.

Book Three lands this winter to close the trilogy.

The criminals already know who you are. Your employees. Your vendors. Your bank. Your voice. The only question is whether you are the easiest door on the street.

Follow and watch Stevie Parker.

Learn the answers before you need it.

So the book release is today...4 years and 400+ interviews...and still seems like the people who say “cybercrime will never happen to me” are the same ones watching their screens lock up on a Tuesday morning while the ransom note loads.

📕 Moving Target: The Art of Online Camouflage is live today.

Not an IT book. A crime book.

The crimes are real. The stories are real. And you are already in the book— whether you know it yet or not.

You do not need to build Fort Knox. You just need to not be the easiest door on the street.

Stevie Parker figured that out. So can you.

Available now on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, hardcover and audiobook.

📕Book 2, Moving Target: The Obedient Machine, drops April 21. One week from today.

If this produces one decision that protects someone you care about, that is the whole point.

That was always the whole point.

Hope you choose to join me.

The early Monday morning call is a specific kind of call. It is always from someone I know — a business owner, a COO, a VP of something — and they always start the same way.

They say: I don’t know if you can help me but something happened.

Something happened.

That is the sentence.

Seven words that contain six months of decisions that felt reasonable at the time.

The breach did not start on the morning they called me. It started months earlier, when someone clicked the wrong link, or hired the wrong person, or deployed an AI tool without reading the terms of service, or ignored the recommendation memo that had been sitting in a folder since last quarter.

Our newsletter (The Chaos Brief) has been where I translate what I see in the criminal world into something actionable for the people who run organizations.

It exists because the gap between what the security industry says and what business leaders actually need to hear is too wide to leave unfilled.

The translation is now a book series.

📚 Two books, actually. The third will drop before the holiday season this year.

📖 What is new is the story of Stevie Parker and the epiphany readers explain they experience in the story...a mirror of their own lives. Our realistic take in a nonfiction story that makes it land...the way it needs to land.

Stevie Parker is the story.

We are all Stevie Parker.

If you read one and see Stevie Parker in yourself — that is the point.

That is always the point.

Stay a moving target.

Now on Amazon(soon Barnes, BAM and i deoe dent stores) Audiobook in post production-coming soon.

Two books. Released one week apart.

➡️ Moving Target: The Art of Online Camouflage drops April 14.
➡️ Moving Target: The Obedient Machine drops April 21.
➡️ And Book 3 — Ghost and the Machine — hits before the holidays.

These are not IT books. They are crime books. True crime. Real operations. Real criminals. Real damage.

Written for the people running businesses, raising families, and making decisions every day with no idea how exposed they already are.

Stevie Parker made the same mistakes you are probably making right now.
Find out what they cost her before you find out what they cost you.

Moving Target trilogy. Come join me.

🔥🔥VERDICT IS IN 🔥🔥Social media companies no longer have a special exemption to harm children with impunity. Their shield is gone. They will be treated like any industry that knowingly harms children and lies about it. History will judge them as harshly as the to***co industry.

Something happened. I published a book. This morning my editor contacted me saying it reached #1 New Top Release on Amazon. I’m humbled and grateful.

It is not a cybersecurity book.

It’s a crime book. And you’re already in it.

Three years. Over 400 interviews. Cybercrime victims, FBI briefings, ransomware negotiators, fraud survivors, and families trying to figure out how it happened to them. All of it became this.

Moving Target: The Art of Online Camouflage.

It follows true stories of peooke just k**e you anf me. Stevie Parker — a COO who did everything right and still ended up exactly where the criminals needed her to be. Twelve chapters.

Twelve mistakes. Every single one drawn from a real story.

When I finished it, I realized Stevie wasn’t done. And neither was I.

So Moving Target became a trilogy.

✅ Book 1 — The Art of Online Camouflage. Available now.
🚧 Book 2 — The Obedient Machine. Spring 2026.
🚧 Book 3 — Ghost and the Machine. Late 2026.

Three books. One woman. The full arc of cybercrime, AI risk, and identity.
Written for everyone who ever said “it will never happen to me.”

We are all Stevie Parker.

From here forward, we move differently. We get out of range.

Available Today, on Amazon.
