Nigel Phair's book, Cybercrime: The Reality of the Threat, was released in the first half of 2007.
This informative book takes a close look at the whole field of cyber crime and its extensive ramifications, and considers a wide range of cyber crime activities that are used to infiltrate and undermine the legitimate online activities of individuals and businesses.
Many new and evolving technologies are susceptible to cyber attacks that can disrupt communications and perpetrate wide spread criminal activity.
These issues are carefully examined along with the challenges they pose for society and law enforcement agencies throughout the world.
This important and timely publication aims to raise an awareness of a rapidly expanding field of criminal activity, and reminds us of the importance of constant vigilance when operating in the online environment.
