ReviewsPraise for The Art of Invisibility "How would it feel to find out that your neighbor and friend has secretly observed you in your own home for years? The place that should be most private to you was not, and the intruder's devices themselves weren't something you'd ever have thought to look for. This kind of behavior is the opposite of giving normal people freedom and security, of valuing and respecting them as humans--and it's happening more and more. The answer to peeping eyes and cyber theft is to move society toward greater cyber-security and it all starts with essential education about being private and invisible in our daily lives. Kevin's book is the must read in this new world."-- Steve Wozniak, cofounder, Apple Inc., "Who better than Mitnick -- internationally wanted hacker turned Fortune 500 security consultant -- to teach you how to keep your data safe from spear phishing, computer worms, and Fancy Bears?"-- Esquire, Praise for The Art of Deception "The most famous computer hacker in the world. A tour de force."-- Publishers Weekly, "The world's most famous computer hacker and cybercult hero...has written a blueprint for system security based on his own experiences. Required reading for IT professionals, this book is highly recommended for public, academic, and corporate libraries."-- Library Journal, "Mitnick's new book aims to help everyone -- from the everyday internet users to the hardcore paranoid -- do a better job of keeping personal information private."-- Laura Hautala, CNET, Praise for Ghost in the Wires "Intriguing, insightful and extremely educational into the mind of one who truly mastered the art of social engineering with the use of a computer and modern day technologies. I strongly believe that one can learn a great deal about protecting themselves once they understand how another one perpetrates the crime."-- Frank W. Abagnale, author of Catch Me if You Can, "Offers a sobering reminder of how our raw data -- from email, cars, home Wi-Fi networks and so on -- makes us vulnerable."-- Amy Webb, New York Times Book Review

  • A good step to avoid the surveillance state

    Not organized like a textbook, so that one can find details fast, but like a novel so that it is an easy read, yet has good content along the way.
