Review: This book examines security and privacy issues, in cyberspace as well as in the real world. It points out, with step-by-step instructions, the current security dangers, as well as the threats to your privacy. It covers all the major security and privacy issues of our day. It shows how controversial eavesdropping programs work, including those done by the super-secret National Security Agency (NSA). It explains how your credit card and identity can be stolen. It describes how hackers break into networks, how spyware snoops on you when you use a computer, and how ‘zombie’ networks sent out spam and scams. It shows how terrorist tracking systems work (and how Paris Hilton was hacked).
