E-book Title: Connect Safely: Wireless Security and Privacy Guide for MS Windows
Book Description: You're Exposing Your Data EVERY Time You Connect To A Wireless Network!
"Take These Simple Steps NOW To Keep Hackers Out Of Your Computer"
It's darn convenient to be able to check your email and communicate with your office from the local Starbucks or wireless hotspot, but that innocent guy sitting across the room could be sucking every file off your computer while you're checking the scores at ESPN, and grabbing your password while you're sending in the latest sales figures?
From cafés to supermarkets, doctor's offices to the lobby of hotels, few technologies have changed our daily work life more than wireless networking. But the operators of these Internet hotspots aren't telling you that every single time you use a wireless network -- even in your own office -- you could be compromising corporate security, opening up your accounts and passwords to hackers, and even giving people a free pass to explore the files on your laptop!
Wireless security and wireless access passwords help, but remember, if you can get today's password at the auto repair shop while waiting for your car to be fixed, so can the nefarious hacker sitting three seats down who appears to be innocently reading the latest headlines at the New York Times.
In fact, it's astonishing and rather frightening to realize that anyone with a computer can easily download free wireless "sniffer" programs from the Internet that lets them capture all the traffic flying between your computer and the wireless base station.
Later, these hackers simply analyze the data they've collected and pull out your Web site passwords, email account and password pairs and even the instant messaging discussion you just finished with your spouse. All running in windows hidden behind whatever they appear to be doing when you glance at their screens.
There's no way to know if anyone at a wireless hotspot is monitoring the WiFi traffic, so your best bet is to always presume that it is not safe to use the network unless you know how to connect safely and securely to every Internet service you need to use.
Here's exactly why you need to get this book now, before it's too late:
Did you know that someone sitting in their car outside your house or office can see everything you're doing on your wireless network?
Did you know that when your computer's on a wireless network, everyone on the network can access your computer files unless you've locked it down in just the right way?
Did you realize that at your friendly Starbucks, the person three tables over can watch every image you're viewing and every email message you're reading?
Don't you secretly wonder whether accessing your bank accounts and confidential data on a wireless network is safe or not? (tip: it's not)
That's what the Connect Safely books are all about: showing you, with detailed step-by-step instructions, exactly how to secure your Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh computer, favorite Internet applications and how to access your email, instant messaging pals and favorite Web sites without risk of breaching security or losing your privacy or personal identity.
