Written by a prominent computer scientist, this volume contains two
complete works of critical importance to even the most casual
computer user in the modern world. This volume contains two
complete works: "Data Recovery" and "Identity Theft in the Cyber
Age." Data Recovery: One of the greatest fears of anyone using a
computer, smartphone, or tablet is the loss of their data. But
there is hope, even in the worst situations. This book, written by
a long-time computer science professor, department chair, and
author, shows how the very complexity of modern computing devices
helps make data recovery possible. Most "lost" data can be
recovered easily by the average user. The book contains numerous
simple examples that illustrate the step-by-step data recovery
process for the most popular computer operating systems and
software. We'll also show you how to help recover your lost data
from smartphones and tablets, as well as any data you may have
stored in "the cloud." In some cases, the problems are more complex
than can reasonably be resolved by the typical user. The book also
provides information on how to tell if you need expert help to
solve your data recovery problems - and you'll have enough
technical background information how to judge the capability of
that supposedly expert help to make sure that the data is recovered
as much as humanly possible. Identity Theft in the Cyber Age: Do
you know how to protect your vital identity information when you
use computers for your banking, credit card transactions, and
everyday purchases? What about when you are using email, web
surfing, texting, or social networking? If you don't, then Identity
Theft in the Cyber Age is the book for you. This easy-to-understand
book will tell you what to do and what to avoid when preparing your
taxes; going to a bank, pharmacy, or doctor; shopping in person;
traveling; or using any kind of electronic commerce. You'll learn
about the most common security weaknesses of modern banking and
e-commerce software and when to avoid using certain software
systems, the tell-tale signs of potentially insecure transmission
of your data, and how to avoid the dangerous practice of "Pameiob."
You'll learn how you have to protect yourself from the kinds of
identity theft that can occur even if YOU never shop online. This
book is a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide that is dedicated
to keeping your assets and identity safe while navigating this
dangerous world. It is based on the author's experiences as a
long-term identity theft consultant and lecturer and computer
scientist. Major topics in this complex subject are illustrated by
case studies describing the personal experiences of some of the
author's friends and acquaintances, and by experiences of some
prominent public figures. You'll learn about the potential profit
margins that make cybercrime so appealing to criminals - and why
such crime is so hard to prosecute. You will learn just how
pervasive the crime of identity theft is, and how you are at risk
even if you don't do any online banking or make any online
purchases using a credit card. We'll discuss some simple strategies
that can help you cope with the side effects of the increase in
digital information that is already available to potential identity
thieves. There are four main chapters. Chapter 1 is entitled
"Identity Theft: How Bad Is It?" and provides an overview of this
all too common problem. Chapter two, entitled "Identity Theft: How
Vulnerable are You?," provides examples of actual cases of the most
common types of identity. The third chapter is entitled "Protect
Yourself From Identity Theft" and contains a set of strategies that
can be used to greatly reduce the chances of you suffering identity
theft. The fourth chapter is entitled "What To Do If You Are An
Identity Victim." It provides a set of overall strategies and
specific actions you should take if you are the victim of identity
theft. There are three appendices.
