Rezensionen
"It covers a wide range of topics. ... Each chapter tackles a very different angle on phishing, which means the topics are covered in a succinct, telegraphic way: many concepts are presented as one or two paragraphs, very often fitting several of them on the same page. ... The intended audience is intermediate; experts in different areas of computing will benefit from reading about their respective interests, but the book assumes an introductory to intermediate level throughout."
