Swiped : how to protect yourself in a world full of scammers, phishers, and identity thieves / Adam Levin with Beau Friedlander.
Increasingly, identity theft is a fact of life. We might once have hoped to protect ourselves from hackers with airtight passwords and aggressive spam folders, and those are good ideas as far as they go. But the truth is, there are people out there--a lot of them--who treat stealing your identity as a full-time job ... Adam Levin, a longtime consumer advocate and identity fraud expert, is your guide to this brave new world. By telling [pertinent] stories and extracting the relevant lessons, he offers a strategy for dealing with these risks.
