Product Review
Things can go wrong in cyberspace. There's fraud, stalking, viruses, outright theft, and more. And while the online world is still not nearly as dangerous as the physical realm, it pays to take precautions against victimization. To that end, Laura Quarantiello offers a detailed look at what's happening in the world of computer crime, complete with insights into the minds of the perpetrators--from the mischievous to the malicious. Her stories include both the disturbing and the heartening, and the advice she's collected--from "cybercops" and "cybercriminals" alike, is well worth heeding.
Midwest Book Review
Cyber crime manifests itself as pornography on the web, online harassment and stalking, e-mail security violation, data security violation, virus implantation, fraud, unauthorized credit card access, and more. Cyber Crime is a much needed book wherein readers will learn about the three step scale of vulnerability, cyber-cops and how they walk the "digital beat" and view intimate portraits of hackers and the tools they use. Complete with indispensable appendices, a list of online resources and a glossary of terms, Cyber Crime is as vital an addition to the computer shelf as any "how-to" software manual.
Customer Reviews & Comments
I must admit I am disappointed in this book. I expected more. A far better book on Internet safety is "Life and Death on the Internet" by Keith Schroeder. "Life and Death" is actually used as a training manual in many police departments and the Criminal Justice Dept at Indiana University, where I first read "Life and Death". "Life and Death" is helpful to parents while "Cyber Crime" spends too much time preaching about the problem without providing adaquate solutions.
