Rezensionen

"This up-to-date book zeroes in on the more recent phenomenon of lower volume, targeted emails. ... It is directed at network administrators, security researchers, best policy practitioners, and law enforcers. ... For the intended audiences, it is a decent high-level overview that is worth reading." (David Bellin, Computing Reviews, February, 2017)
