Most business owners think they're too small to be a target. They're not being targeted — they're being selected.   Tables get turned. Host interviews David Dean Mauro about his true-crime cybersecurity trilogy The Moving Target — a book series about online camouflage, small business cyber risk, and the real cost of being visible online.   Built from 400+ investigative interviews with cyber leaders, business owners, and criminal hackers, the trilogy follows Stevie Parker: competent, careful, busy — and breached anyway. No acronyms. No lecture. No IT background required.   WHAT WE COVER: • Why "I'm too small to target" is the most expensive assumption in business • Selected vs. targeted — how criminal crews actually pick victims • Shadow AI: the risk sitting on every employee's phone (we unlock ours 260+ times a day) • How much criminals already know about you, your bank, and your kids • Inside a ransomware operation: quotas, shift changes, HR, healthcare, a board of directors • The bear and the shark — why defense in depth beats perfect security • Social engineering, plain English: they don't hack systems, they hack people • Who really pays after a breach (hint: it's not the brand in the headline)   Fewer than 4% of cybercriminals look anything like the hoodie in the basement. Cybercrime is organized crime with an org chart.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Turning the Tables: Why a Cybercrime Trilogy for Business Leaders 01:13 The Real Cost of Being Visible Online 02:56 Meet Stevie Parker: The Competent Victim 04:35 "I'm Too Small to Target" — The Most Expensive Myth in Business 06:52 Selected, Not Targeted: How Criminals Actually Pick You 10:20 Shadow AI: The Risk Hiding on Every Employee's Phone 13:03 What Hackers Already Know About You and Your Family 16:35 The Bear and the Shark: Outrunning Cybercrime 19:25 Inside a Ransomware Gang: Quotas, HR, and a Board of Directors 24:24 Beyond the Headlines: Who Really Pays When a Company Gets Breached   Book three of The Moving Target releases September 22.
