As we live more of our lives online and entrust personal information
to the cloud, we need to be much more aware and proactive about
protecting ourselves. Are you safe from hackers? Not without taking
precautions. Your identity can be stolen, your company's intellectual
property can be copied and sold, and even hacks that just a few years
ago sounded like science fiction will soon be possible: vehicle systems
can already be hacked, and our power grid can be manipulated or
sabotaged by terrorists.
But knowledge is power. In this easy-to-read, fascinating and fully
illustrated book, you learn how hackers make money, and what they
target - along with concrete, hands-on hints for fighting back, whether
you're a concerned parent or a top executive.
Packaged in a durable, wipe-clean flexicover with metallic
corner-guards, this practical manual withstands heavy-duty use indoors
and out.
With all the surrounding threats, what better person to prepare the
public, than a team of internationally known cybersecurity experts? Nick
Selby is a police detective specializing in sharing intelligence and
busting cybercriminals. He knows how these crimes happen, who does them,
and how to make your life safer. In The Cyber Attack Survival Manual
he and a veritable brain trust of experts from the world of
intelligence, digital currency, vehicle-hacking, and sophisticated
crimeware, share the best techniques for everyone.
This indispensable, step-by-step guide to cyber defense includes:
Everyday security: How to keep your identity from being stolen,
protect your kids, protect your cards and much more.
Big Stories: Silk Road, Ashley Madison, FBI vs. Apple, WikiLeaks,
BitCoins, and what they mean to individuals and society at large.
Global issues: the NSA, how hackers can crash your car, and is China
really planning to crash Google?
Crucial to surviving the worst the Internet can throw at you, The Cyber
Attack Survival Manual is the must-have book of the 21st century. Think
you don't need this book because, "I have nothing to hide"? Selby and
Vescent, along with Eric Olson, Moeed Siddiui, and John Bear, show you
why you're wrong (everyone now has something to hide) - and how lack of
security can endanger your finances, your safety, and your reputation.
