Fraud poses a significant threat to the Internet. 1.5% of all online advertisements attempt to spread malware. This lowers the willingness to view or handle advertisements, which will severely affect the structure of the web and its viability. It may also destabilize online commerce. In addition, the Internet is increasingly becoming a weapon for political targets by malicious organizations and governments. This book will examine these and related topics, such as smart phone based web security. This book describes the basic threats to the Internet (loss of trust, loss of advertising revenue, loss of security) and how they are related. It also discusses the primary countermeasures and how to implement them.

The Title is a Call for Action, not dispair

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2012

Verified Purchase

As a contributor to this book and an editor on previous Markus Jakobsson works I can attest to the high quality and thoroughness of the information. Just take a look at the list of field experts who wrote each chapter and it is obvious that Markus has a great skill for coordinating teams with different perspectives. The writers from various backgrounds, including researchers from Michigan State, Northeastern, Princeton, Berkeley, and Indiana U. are just a selection of the talent. Contributors from Thailand, India, Iran, France, Switzerland, Spain and Sweden put a truly global edge on this book. Just reviewing the biographies of these folks makes me proud to be part of such an endeavor. The title of this book is not an exaggeration or simple shock piece. We have all become used to the Internet and expect it to be there all the time. It simply "works" and has robustness and redundancy behind it. However, at the same time it is surprisingly fragile. The Internet is a great and bold idea but one fraught with danger. We hand over information and trust to this thing in spite of persistent news that it is threatening. This book looks at what is behind those threats, how they work, what tools the criminals use, and how the proliferation of criminal exploitation actually endangers the network in general. The individual sections of this book give shape to the chatter heard in the news "Nigerian Scams," "Malware," "Spam," "Click-Fraud." At least one of these has likely touched every reader, and now you can find out the whole story behind all of them. But Death of The Internet is not just about all the bad stories. The entire second half of the book is dedicated to solutions. Each threat discussed can be met and effectively defeated. The point is to recognize the issues and devise comprehensive strategies. An important detail here is that it all depends on the Internet user demanding better, but first you must be informed. Death of The Internet is an overall reading adventure, compelling for the savvy technical expert but also written for curious minds who do not live in the world of network jargon.

Ridiculous pricing!

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2013

From someone as knowledgable about the internet as this, the Kindle pricing is ridiculous, and rather obviously aimed at academics and students of electronic communications. There's nothing here that Scheier hasn't covered endlessly for free, I suspect. Won't buy. I can just bring up the slashdot review and read the comments.

Thorough summary of current and emerging internet security issues

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2012

Over the last 30+ years, many good engineers worked very hard to bring the internet to life. In the early days just getting computers to reliably transfer files was a victory. Now the internet is broadly used for commerce and the features continue to accelerate. In the hurry to build out this complex functionality, security was neglected, so there should be little surprise that there are many holes to be exploited for fraud. As the title implies, security could be a major speed bump for the continued growth of the internet if security professionals don't keep up with the new threats. Individual compromises of privacy or financial accounts information is an inconvenience, but broad systemic attacks could cause unresolveable damage.

Because the security threats are so diverse, it is difficult for security types to keep up with the breadth of problems outside their area. For example, an encryption expert may have little knowledge of current trends in spear phishing attacks or clickjacking. This book provides a good compilation of current and emerging threats in a single place for people casually interested in security as well as pros.

Dr. Jakobsson has put together a broad set of current security topics with in depth explanations from domain experts. The book provides coverage of many topics that security people may want to scan but also has in depth explanation for each area. It can be used for a quick background across topics or for an in depth understanding. While the book is good for security experts, there is very little confusing jargon so an interested novice can readily understand the concepts. The topics are all very current or newly emerging threats, but since threats are often slow to get fully addressed and new variations arise the topics will remain relevant for a long time.

Thorough Explanation on Online Threats and Countermeasures

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2013

I picked up this book because I felt that I have a need to understand the various Internet threats that we as the Internet users are being exposed to everyday. And this book does what it says. We all need to know what's the hidden danger as far as usage of the Internet is concerned.

The author interprets the current outlook of and future potential online threats, such as Malware, Phishing, Mobile Threats etc. in a profound manner and provides insights from various perspectives. There are countermeasures and security mechanisms being concocted as well, through experimentation and researches. The psychological side of online threats is what attracts me the most, as it elucidates why and how the attackers target and plot against average users, and why users aren't aware of the potential attacks.

I would strongly recommend this book to just anyone, especially those who are involved in IT and network engineering, as they are driving the development of security systems, and ultimately the Internet, to protect Web users from online threats.
