This book should be REQUIRED reading for any security professional in the online brokerage or online banking industry. It is also a very good and relevant read for people in the online e-commerce world, like Amazon, eBay, Facebook, etc. It is appropriate for both technical security professionals as well as non-technical professional involved on the business or fraud side of the world.
The author takes you through a five year history of online brokerage fraud that it seems he has personally been fighting for years. He surveys all the different security counter measures out in the field today, and in essence shows you how all existing traditional approaches are in-effective. But do not despare, he does discuss a few new approaches on the horizon that might help.
Botton line. Thumps up. Great read.
