Review
I found Todd Wades book a fascinating read and learned many new things about a topic that I considered myself already familiar with. Todd uses a consistent structure for each chapter unpacking each scam using plenty of relatable examples. He also provides a useful historic perspective throughout. I found the how are people impacted? sections particularly relevant for my work and although the content of BCS publications is often most relevant for professionals, much of the content of this book should be shared with family, friends, and colleagues. Despite the sophistication of some of the techniques used by attackers nowadays, Todd is optimistic for the future and offers hope; the more we become aware of how the attacks are orchestrated, the more well recognize them before we become the victims. Read this book to avoid becoming one! --Tim Clements FBCS CITP FIP CIPP/E CIPM CIPT, Purpose and Means, Copenhagen
It is refreshing to find a book on cybercrime that isnt filled with technical jargon. Todd Wade writes in a language suitable for anyone with an interest finding out more but also with detail for those with professional understanding. Practical advice is provided throughout to help individuals and businesses protect against this increasing problem. Overall a fascinating book, providing real life accounts of cybercrime throughout history and an insight to future threats. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a curiosity in cyber activity and also those with a fascination for felony. --Liz Smith AMBCS, Compliance Manager, BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT
