CRITICALLY REVIEWED!

"In the United States, in particular, a country where, in place of using an identity card, they are identified throughout their lives with a Social Security Number. On receipts and bills and on the most valuable of records they are certified from birth to death. The fear of identity theft is becoming so great as to have convinced companies like Visa, Microsoft and Amazon to form a coalition to combat this online crime. This past September, a study completed on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission www.ftc.gov/os/2003/09/synovatereport.pdf estimated that 10 million Americans were victimized in the last year alone from this type of theft. Whereas the title How To Be Invisible (J.J.Luna, Dunne books, 2000) has been available for some time, today we introduce a published handbook that explains instead how to avoid having your own personal data usurped. This small volume (printed on demand) after explaining the precautions to take offline (e.g. a credit card transaction) reveals the inner workings of the Windows environment in order to eliminate every trace of information that could be stolen online by malcontents. The author, with coherence, published the book under a pseudonym and has asked us not to reveal his true identity."
