Phishing and Countmeasures is one of those rare volumes that speaks to the maturity of the information security arts as a truly synthesizing discipline; one that can substantially engage the many human and technical aspects that attend the phishing threat, in all its manifestations. While the volume provides a sweeping and detailed investigation into the technologies that are exploited by phishers, this compendium distinguishes itself with chapters examining end users’ behavioral vulnerabilities, factors that ably assist phishers and, in some cases, actually neutralize counter-phishing technologies. It’s a keystone volume for the library of the software engineer, interface designer, or the policy investigator who seeks an authoritative overview of both the technical and human factors that help animate the phishers’ enterprise.

Over the last several years, the Internet has evolved and matured. More and more individuals and corporations depend on the Internet for everything from banking and personal finance to travel and weather information, and of course, shopping, news, and personal communication. Unfortunately, this revolutionary new technology has a dark side in the form of scammers and outright criminals who play on the innocence and gullibility of average computer users to steal their personal information and compromise their identities. In this landmark book, Jakobsson and Myers do an outstanding job identifying and demystifying the techniques of the bad guys. They also describe what you can do to protect yourself and counter these threats. This book is a must read for anyone who has any presence online.

This book is the encyclopedia of phishing. It provides views from the payment, human, and technical perspectives. The material is remarkably readable-each chapter is contributed by an expert on that topic, but none require specialized background on the heart of the reader. The text will be useful for any professional who seeks to understand phishing.
