Phishing and Countermeasures (eBook, PDF)

Understanding the Increasing Problem of Electronic Identity Theft
Redaktion: Jakobsson, Markus; Myers, Steven

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Phishing and Counter-Measures discusses how and why phishing is a threat, and presents effective countermeasures. Showing you how phishing attacks have been mounting over the years, how to detect and prevent current as well as future attacks, this text focuses on corporations who supply the resources used by attackers. The authors subsequently deliberate on what action the government can take to respond to this situation and compare adequate versus inadequate countermeasures.
