Hacking Wall Street: Attacks and Countermeasures

By Karlos Krinklebine
 

eFraud Online Rating: 5.0/5.0

In this one of a kind book, the author exposes the who, what, why and how of today's professional hackers as they attempt and often succeed in stealing the identities of millions of consumers and swindle Wall Street's largest financial services firms out of millions of dollars. For the first time, look inside the world of the new generation cyber criminal with detailed descriptions of modern phishing toolkits, Trojans, pump and dump schemes and advanced malware distribution systems. Follow the author on a trip through the cyber criminal underground and understand how they find and attack a broad array of chinks that exist in even the most sophisticated security networks of today's largest companies and quite likely exist in your own IT security armor. In the final chapters, look into the future of cyber criminal activity as well as the advanced countermeasures being developed to check them.

This book is a must read for risk, compliance, anti-fraud and anti-money laundering, information security and business management professionals.  This book is also sutable as a secondary text for advance-level students in computer science, computer security and several other diciplines.

Other People's Money: The Rise and Fall of Britain's Boldest Credit Card Fraudster

By Elliot Castro
 

eFraud Online Rating 4.5/5.0

Elliot Castro was a gifted outsider, a working-class kid with ambitions who wanted to live the high life but lacked the money to do so. Until, at the tender age of sixteen, he worked out how to use the credit card system to his advantage. Identifying the banks' security weaknesses, utilising his intelligence and charm, Elliot embarked on a massive spending spree. From London to New York, Ibiza to Beverly Hills, he lived the fantasy life, staying in famous hotels, flying first class, blowing a fortune on designer clothes. Time and time again Elliot managed to wriggle free of the numerous authorities who were on his tail, while his life spiralled out of control. Meanwhile, from a police station at Heathrow, a detective was patiently tracking him down ...With a likeable hero, filled with humour and as fast-paced as a thriller, "Other People's Money" is crime writing at its best. 'A fascinating and illuminating story' - Irvine Welsh. 'Exhilarating Brit variation on Catch Me if You Can, which never misses an opportunity to up the sweaty-palmed suspense' - "Arena".
