N2  - "The phrase 'information security' has expanded significantly in scope over the last decade. The term now extends beyond protecting the secrets of major corporations and governments to include the average consumer. Our most sensitive information is stored online in vast quantities. The temptations for those who have the tools to dip an illicit, electronic spoon into the pool of confidential data are far too enticing to be ignored. Furthermore, cybercriminals are not scared of the laws that are currently in place.

This volume of 'Hacking Exposed' contains the newest lessons learned about the threat landscape. Its goal is education: a paramount element in the continual fight against cybercrime. This book aims to educate those with the technical expertise to defend our nations, our educational institutions, our banks, our retailers, our utilities, our infrastructures, and our families."
