(More customer reviews)Andert gives a good, understandable description of the dangers on the Internet. As the Web becomes more heavily used, it attracts attackers or predators, who often look for novice, unwary users. The book explains how people often let down their guards when conversing with strangers on the net. Where this communication might be via email, Instant Messaging or other modalities. It has been observed that the anonymous, remote nature leads some people to confide things that they would not to a stranger they met in person.
Anyway, Andert offers practical suggestions to limit your exposure through such inadvertant actions. You are also warned to beware of giving up too much personal data on some purported web site, or in a response to an email. The data might be sufficient, possibly in conjunction with other facts that could be amassed about you, for someone to forge your electronic identity.
Perhaps, though, Andert could have omitted the "911" from the title. Very US-centric. Other countries don't use this as the emergency phone number. It detracts from the global appeal of this book.
