Blind Spot: See How Hackers Can Steal Your Data

BLIND SPOT not only covers a range of topics that range from passwords to emails, but its written in a step by step form that guarantees complete success in any area you may have issues with. All the chapters have amazing tips to reinforce what you learned. Here’s an example of an security tip: "You can provide an answer that does not answer the challenge question directly. Pick questions that are difficult for others to guess the answer." This tip stands out for many of us that would initially take the easy route when it comes to security. We may choose our birthday or something simple that could cause us more headache in the long run. McDaniel teaches tools that can help prevent possible threats such as identity theft. These events are often connected to our daily activities such as logging into our bank accounts, email and other sites that we don’t “consider” breaching our online safety!

This is what you’ll find while reading BLIND SPOT: a simplified guide of words, processes and operations that would normally scare you, but anyone from eight to eighty can read and fully grasp. McDaniel carefully wrote the book that such words-malware, worm, mobile security and so many others, jumps off the page and into your brain with ease. He takes the time to educate you on functions that we may ignore or never use due to confidence or knowledge. BLIND SPOT offers in depth insight without going over the reader’s head. If you’re looking for a book that covers basic technology from A-Z that doesn’t feel like a textbook, you’ve found it in Anthony McDaniel’s first literary offering.
