This is NOT a scary book! I am 75, and have hesitated to buy books about the Internet, because I am not very technical and just use the Web to read email and research topics about geneology. But a friend loaned it to me, and I was amazed to find that it is written in a clear and friendly way, and that the technical details (including how to protect my home computer) were very easy to follow. The authors are interesting peo. I had no idea A Customer what was happening with the personal information I gave my local grocery store when I signed up for their shopping card. And that, folks, is just the tip of the iceburg. This is a fascinating book that has great technical information but is still easy for the average computer user to read. Read it to find out what has changed in our lives since September 11, and how you can make informed decisions. Berglund Center for Internet Studies Review by Jeffrey Barlow Berglund Center for Internet Studies There are many books, and WWW sites, that would be useful.

While there are many more recent books, this one has stood the test of time, and remains an encyclopedic introduction to a variety of threats. Too, it treats privacy not only as something to be defended, but something to which we all have an actual right.
McGregor leads the development and coordination of the long-term Information Security strategy. Department of Commerce and at conferences on Internet policy. She works with the product groups, Corporate Security, Internal Audit, and Intel Legal to develop security and privacy policy. Glee Harrah Cady<
