| Summary: | "Cybercriminals, domestic and foreign, are launching attacks day and night using malware, phishing scams, deepfakes, and other unscrupulous schemes designed to steal your data and hold it hostage. When they win, it costs nations, businesses, and individuals trillions of dollars annually. It's possible to fight back, but you'll need more than a strong password. Drawing on his years as an FBI spy hunter and national security strategist, Eric O'Neill casts light on these malicious actors' tactics for stealing personal data and exploiting victims. Armed with this knowledge, O'Neill shares his method--called PAID--that you can use to defend yourself and stop attackers in their tracks: Prepare: Pinpoint your most critical data, identify where it resides and who can access it, and build your defenses around it. Assess: Continuously reassess your security and apply counterintelligence tactics to identify scams and cyberattacks. Investigate: Stay educated and hunt the threat before the threat hunts you. Decide: Using your new aptitude, make smart, rapid decisions under pressure. Written by a top expert in the field, Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime offers easy-to-follow steps for staving off cyberattacks, securing your data, and keeping private information safe in an increasingly digital and dizzying world"-- |
