Digital safety for your family and home office.
Plain-English playbooks to make your devices harder to target, not harder to use. No IT background required.
Most of what puts a family at risk isn't a hacker in a hoodie — it's a default setting nobody turned off, an app that asks for more than it needs, or a habit that quietly gives away more than it should. The $100 Hacker exists to close those gaps, without turning your phone, your network, or your family into an IT project.

What The $100 Hacker Does
Plain-English guides, checklists, and field playbooks that harden the phones, networks, accounts, and platforms your family already uses. Every recommendation follows one rule: harder to target, not harder to use.
Who This Is For
Parents, families, and everyday hybrid workers who want their technology safer without becoming cybersecurity professionals. If you've ever stared at a settings menu and given up, this is built for you.
