Kevin Mitnick, the world's most celebrated hacker, now devotes his life to helping businesses and governments combat data thieves, cybervandals, and other malicious computer intruders. In The Art of Intrusion, Mitnick offers hair-raising stories of real-life computer break-ins, and shows how the victims could have prevented them.
* Each chapter features one principal crime story, and manages to capture the personality, value system, and family history of the criminal hacker who chose to victimize unsuspecting corporations.
* A wrap-up section follows each story and points out the standard practices and precautions that, had they been implemented, could have successfully prevented the attacks.
