LIVERMORE, CA - December 8, 2005 - "Frauds, Spies, and Lies: and How to
Defeat Them" by Dr. Fred Cohen, helps people understand the kinds of
frauds and scams that people are perpetrating and how to keep from
being victimized. "Criminals, governments, and many other folks use
lies to take from others" says Dr. Cohen, "This book is about all the
ways people take by lying and how individuals and organizations can
protect themselves."
Fred says he originally started writing the book for graduate classes
he teaches in deception, propaganda, perception management, and
information operations at the University of New HAven, but once he
started writing it, he collected so much information and had so many
examples, he decided to put it all in plain language and make it
accessible to everyone. The result was 234 pages jam packed with
things that can help everyone understand how frauds, spies, and lies
work to how to defeat them.
"Frauds, Spies, and Lies" has descriptions of hundreds of specific
frauds and many personal experiences from Dr. Cohen's career. But it
isn't dry or humorless by a long way. David Cohen, a budding
cartoonist, has created a series of cartoons that go along with the
book, each funnier than the next. And the back cover is one of the
funniest you'll find. From describing the Internet as a "Web of
Deception" to describing elicitation tactics and how to defeat them,
this book is as entertaining as it is informative.
