Your Evil Twin covers this exploding crime from every possible angle. It includes exclusive whodunit details from mastermind identity thieves who have pilfered money from half the members of the Forbes 400, as well as exclusive interviews with a myriad of criminals in the Internet's underground, such as Russian hackers who have extorted money from U.S. banks. The book also issues a scathing indictment of the credit granting industry, from credit card issuers to the secretive credit reporting agencies, who have misunderstood the crime from the start, have been slow to respond, and bear much of the responsibility for the epidemic. Finally, Bob Sullivan, author and identity theft expert, probes the tepid solutions now being cobbled together by the industry and government.\u003cbr\u003e Bob Sullivan (Snohomish, WA), senior technology writer for MSNBC.com, is the nation's leading journalist covering identity fraud. He has written more than 100 articles on the subject since 1996, and is a regular contributor to MSNBC, CNBC, NBC Nightly News, the Today show, and various local NBC affiliates. With colleague Mike Brunker, Sullivan received the prestigious 2002 Society of Professional Journalists Public Service Award for ongoing coverage of Internet fraud.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 CEOs in My Closet 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Pain 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The “Miracle” of Instant Credit 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Trial 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Document Problem 122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Where Are the Cops? 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 There Ought to Be a Law 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The Internet’s Role 194\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 The Heroes 228\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 What Now? 256\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 277\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 284\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 309\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298021962008,"sku":"9780471648109","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471648109.jpg?v=1781731282","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/your-evil-twin-behind-the-identity-theft-epidemic-hardback-9780471648109","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
