This book describes trends in email scams and offers tools and techniques

to identify such trends. It also describes automated countermeasures

based on an understanding of the type of persuasive methods used by

scammers. It reviews both consumer-facing scams and enterprise scams,

describing in-depth case studies relating to Craigslist scams and Business

Email Compromise Scams. This book provides a good starting point for

practitioners, decision makers and researchers in that it includes

alternatives and complementary tools to the currently deployed email

security tools, with a focus on understanding the metrics of scams.

Both professionals working in security and advanced-level students

interested in privacy or applications of computer science will find this book

a useful reference.

Industry Reviews

"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)
