Is It Safe?

Rating:

Spam. Phishing. Identity theft. Sometimes it seems like wherever we turn someone is out to get our personal information for malicious purposes.

How real are the risks? Is it all media hype meant to make us all fearful? Are we unknowingly putting ourselves at risk? What do we need to do to protect ourselves?

Is It Safe? looks at the real risks when we go online. The book puts away a lot of myths about the dangers of the information age while explaining exactly what spyware, viruses, spam, phishing scams actually work. The author also looks at the most common ways that credit card fraud and identity theft are conducted.

I have to admit, I thought I was pretty computer savy but much of the information in this book surprised me. There's so much more to computer security than doing a virus or spyware scan every now and then.
