商品描述

“If you bank or manage your stocks online, you have to read this book. Cyberspace is making all sorts of things possible. Unfortunately, among them are fraud, theft, and espionage—all of which can directly impact you.”--Richard Clarke, noted counterterrorism expert and bestselling author of Against All Enemies


A white-collar true-crime story, Zero Day Threat is a powerful investigative expose on bank and lending policies that actually facilitate ID theft and fraud. USA Today reporters Acohido and Swartz reveal the many ways that established corporations and technology giants (including Bank of America, Microsoft, and Google) have fixated on the Internet to maximize their profits, heedless of increased risks to customers. While examining the exploding range of hidden Internet hazards, they reveal the ways in which cyber crooks nab identity data--such as Dumpster diving for bountiful paper trash that offers account user names, passwords and  Social Security numbers--and then exploit that information through channels opened up by careless corporate policies.  
 Using real-life examples of those who have endured the nightmare of a stolen identity, Zero Day Threat organizes its narrative around three central archetypes:
  • Intended not merely to alarm, but to illuminate, Zero Day Threat exposes how lawbreakers do their dirty work, and how corporations help them do it.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

「如果你在線上銀行或管理你的股票,你必須閱讀這本書。網路空間讓各種事情成為可能。不幸的是,其中包括詐騙、盜竊和間諜行為——這些都可能直接影響到你。」——理查德·克拉克(Richard Clarke),著名反恐專家及暢銷書《對抗所有敵人》(Against All Enemies)的作者

一本白領真實犯罪故事,《零日威脅》(Zero Day Threat)是一部強有力的調查揭露,探討銀行和貸款政策如何實際上促進身份盜竊和詐騙。《今日美國》(USA Today)的記者阿科希多(Acohido)和斯瓦茨(Swartz)揭示了許多大型企業和科技巨頭(包括美國銀行、微軟和谷歌)如何專注於網際網路以最大化其利潤,而忽視了對客戶增加的風險。在檢視不斷增加的隱藏網路危險時,他們揭示了網路罪犯如何竊取身份數據——例如,透過垃圾箱潛水尋找豐富的紙張垃圾,這些垃圾提供了帳戶用戶名、密碼和社會安全號碼——然後通過疏忽的企業政策開啟的渠道來利用這些信息。

《零日威脅》使用了那些經歷身份被盜的噩夢的真實案例,圍繞三個核心原型組織其敘述:
- 旨在不僅僅是警告,而是啟發,《零日威脅》揭露了違法者如何進行他們的髒活,以及企業如何幫助他們做到這一點。
