i did not ever receive my item. i want my book or my money back please. i will let others know not to shop with you all. have a nice day.
I got a great price on the book but, I didn’t receive the book as I should.
It has been over 3 weeks and I still have not received my book. I am behind in my class. Not very happy!!!
Needed it for class and it suited my needs. Only complaint is I couldn’t sell it back to my college’s bookstore because it was the complete version versus the standard student copy. The only difference is it has extra information/chapters in the back. The entire beginning is the student copy, it just has extra chapters. I was shocked they wouldn’t take it back. If you need this book for a class get it here. Good price.
This book is worse than worthless because of its dangerous, erroneous security advice. Quoting from Chapter 3:
“If the Web site displays the VeriSign Seal, you can trust that your information is secure.”
Wrong! Any phisher can display an image on their website that says VeriSign. Only legit sites, however, may hotlink to the image hosted on VeriSign’s servers.
Also, a site using HTTPS will foil eavesdroppers from intercepting sensitive information, but it doesn’t say anything about the trustworthiness of the site itself.
Follow the advice in this book, and you may end up losing your money in a scam.
