5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Internet Survival Guide - Protecting Your Financial Information, October 27, 2007
This review is from: Internet Survival Guide: Protecting Your Financial Information (Paperback)
The Internet Survival Guide Series "Protecting Your Financial Information" is a must-have reference book for anyone seriously interested in understanding how to protect their financial assets. The author, James Christiansen, presents this critically important material in a well organized and easy-to-read style for all ages. Even our children can be affected by scammers when they are out on the internet. With the increasing use of on-line shopping and banking and the threat of identity theft, the author gives a tremendous amount of practical information that can be used to avoid becoming a victim to hackers and cyber-thieves. I did a quick read through the book once, then read it again to start applying the principles in this book. Just the valuable information about setting up strong passwords, passphrases and encryption is worth buying the book. I'm really impressed with this book and also have it's other two companions in the series called "Protecting Your Family" and "Protecting Your Home Computer." These books represent an arsenal and defense that the average computer user can put into action. I keep them right next to my computer. I highly recommend this book!!
