Listen now to get the main key ideas from Kevin D. Mitnick & William L. Simon's The Art of Deception.
Kevin D. Mitnick was one of the first computer hackers of the modern age. After serving time in prison, he became a cybersecurity guru and co-wrote The Art of Deception (2001) with William L. Simon. They explain how skilled hackers use deception to extract information, which they call social engineering attacks. Even IT professionals can be vulnerable, but Mitnick and Simon offer tips and techniques to help companies and individuals guard against social engineering attacks. Much of their advice is specific to the early 2000s, but the general principles still apply.
