商品描述

Drs. Pelton and Singh warn of the increasing risks of cybercrime and lay out a series of commonsense precautions to guard against individual security breaches. This guide clearly explains the technology at issue, the points of weakness and the best ways to proactively monitor and maintain the integrity of individual networks. Covering both the most common personal attacks of identity fraud, phishing, malware and breach of access as well as the larger threats against companies and governmental systems, the authors explain the vulnerabilities of the internet age. As more and more of life's transactions take place online, the average computer user and society at large have a lot to lose. All users can take steps to secure their information. Cybercrime is so subtle and hidden, people can ignore the threat until it is too late. Yet today about every three seconds a person is hit by some form of cyber attack out of the blue. Locking the "cyber-barn door" after a hacker has struck is way too late. Cyber security, cyber crime and cyber terrorism may seem to be intellectual crimes that don't really touch the average person, but the threat is real. Demystifying them is the most important step and this accessible explanation covers all the bases.

佩爾頓博士和辛格博士警告網路犯罪風險日益增加,並提出一系列常識性的預防措施,以防止個人安全漏洞。這本指南清楚地解釋了相關技術、弱點以及主動監控和維護個人網路完整性的最佳方法。內容涵蓋了最常見的個人攻擊,如身份詐騙、釣魚攻擊、惡意軟體和存取違規,以及針對公司和政府系統的更大威脅,作者解釋了網際網路時代的脆弱性。隨著越來越多的生活交易在線上進行,普通電腦使用者和整個社會都有很多損失。所有使用者都可以採取措施來保護他們的信息。網路犯罪是如此微妙和隱蔽,人們可能會忽視這一威脅,直到為時已晚。然而,今天大約每三秒就會有一個人遭遇某種形式的網路攻擊。等到駭客攻擊後再鎖上「網路穀倉的門」已經太遲了。網路安全、網路犯罪和網路恐怖主義可能看起來是與普通人無關的智力犯罪,但威脅是真實存在的。揭開這些概念的神秘面紗是最重要的一步,而這個易於理解的解釋涵蓋了所有要點。
