Reviews
How would it feel to find out that your neighbor and friend has secretly observed you in your own home for years? The place that should be most private to you was not, and the intruder's devices themselves weren't something you'd ever have thought to look for. This kind of behavior is the opposite of giving normal people freedom and security, of valuing and respecting them as humans--and it's happening more and more. The answer to peeping eyes and cyber theft is to move society toward greater cyber-security and it all starts with essential education about being private and invisible in our daily lives. Kevin's book is the must read in this new world.-- Steve Wozniak, cofounder, Apple Inc. Intriguing, insightful, and extremely educational..One can learn a great deal about protecting themselves once they understand how another one perpetrates the crime. -- Frank W. Abagnale, author of Catch Me If You Can In a gruff timbre and matter-of-fact tone, narrator Ray Porter walks listeners through the details of avoiding malicious hackers and their related schemes. Porter provides an assertively controlled, well-paced journalistic performance. -- AudioFile A blueprint for system security...Required reading for IT professionals, this book is highly recommended for public, academic, and corporate libraries. -- Library Journal The most famous computer hacker in the world. A tour de force. -- Publishers Weekly Aims to help everyone-from the everyday internet users to the hardcore paranoid-do a better job of keeping personal information private. -- CNET Who better than Mitnick-internationally wanted hacker turned Fortune 500 security consultant-to teach you how to keep your data safe from spear phishing, computer worms, and Fancy Bears? -- Esquire Offers a sobering reminder of how our raw data-from email, cars, home Wi-Fi networks and so on-makes us vulnerable. -- New York Times Book Review
