A bit dated. And in this field dated is probably a bit dangerous. Well written for the layperson though so if the authornever releases a new release it is a good read if you are just trying to protect yourself. Not to be used as the Bible if your job is info security however but I don't think that is the intended audience

Very good to know! Grateful someone took the time to let people know the dangers and various deceptions that are out there on the web. How the hackers are not just on the internet, but are using the social media sites as well. Grateful you wrote it; glad I read it!

This is a valuable tool to help you understand and prevent cyber attacks. There was a lot of good information, and some good warnings, as in: “Never, under any circumstances, should you ignore the extensions at the end of all file names, as this is your biggest clue to the origins and legitimacy of any file you receive.” If you want to know what kind of file extension are problematic, I’d recommend reading this book. I'm not computer literate, and this made cyber attacks understandable.
