Data Personified
Description
From the authors who brought you WTF: Wheres the Fraud? comes Data Personified, an in-depth and current look at the evolution of fraudulent tactics. With a focus on business identity theft and document fraud, Data Personified unwraps the complicated issues of identity theft and data breacheswithout boring readers to death.
Documents are the building blocks of identities, and how those identities interact proves just how malleable they are. Businesses have identities too, and are just as vulnerable as individuals. From ordering celebrity birth certificates to analyzing fraudulent fraud statistics, Larry and Alana Benson explore new crimes, and explain why they matter to anyone with a Social Security number. With a different data breach every week, and identity theft a click away, Data Personified could not be more timely.
