Information Today, Inc. (ITI) has announced the release of four new
publications.
Net
Crimes & Misdemeanors
ITI has published Net Crimes & Misdemeanors: Outmaneuvering
the Spammers, Swindlers, and Stalkers Who Are Targeting You Online,
written by J. A. Hitchcock, a cybercrime expert who waged—and won—her own
personal battle with cyberstalkers.
In the book, Hitchcock explains how individuals and business users of
the Internet can protect themselves, their children, and their employees
from online cheats and predators. She details a broad range of abusive
practices; shares victims' stories (including her own); and provides practical
advice on how to handle junk e-mail, privacy invasion, financial scams,
cyberstalking, and identity theft. She offers useful tips and techniques
and points to the laws, organizations, and Web sites that support victims
and help them fight back. The book's Web site (http://www.netcrimes.net)
provides readers with a regularly updated linked directory of important
online resources.
Web
of Deception
ITI has published Web of Deception: Misinformation on the Internet,
edited by Anne P. Mintz with a foreword by Steve Forbes.
The book looks at the many ways in which intentionally misleading or
erroneous information on the Web can wreak havoc on the health, privacy,
investments, purchases, business decisions, and legal affairs of online
users. Mintz—director of knowledge management at Forbes, Inc.—brought together
10 information experts to illuminate the issues and help readers recognize
and deal with a flood of deception and misinformation in numerous fields
and subject areas.
