4.0 out of 5 stars Where Am I? In the Village. What do you want? We want Information!, 17 Oct 2007

By	Junglies (Morrisville, NC United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Identity Theft Protection Guide (Paperback)

If I had to select one thing that I learnt from this book it would be to buy a shredder. Not just any old shredder but a diamond cut shredder that is capable of shredding credit cards and discs. This is probably the most important thing anyone can do to protect and safeguard one's identity.

In recent years we have become an information society. Not in the sense of an information economy where knowledge and the ability to utilise it enable money to be made but where factual information determines much of what we do. As money becomes indistinguishable from electronic transfers, the citizen's interaction with the world through the highway known as the internet, has led to the creation of virtual worlds and the rapid growth in cybercrime.

The author methodically goes through the uses and abuses of facts and sets out checklists so that we can monitor our information health, warning us of potential risks and lauding our success in minimising potential abuses.

Essentially she acknowledges that we cannot escape ourinformation being used by multiple bodies, government, for profit, and services. Given that acknowledgement she suggests that there are certain precautions and actions that we can take to ensure our informational integrity and thus participate without too much worry that our identities will be stolen which can have serious downside risks.

Most of us have only a limited awareness of the extent to which information about ourselves and our lives exist and can be accessed and by who. This handy little book opens our eyes and our minds to both the inherent risks and possibilities involved and how to live with them.

It goes without saying that I am happy to endorse this book as a primer on identity theft and how to live safely in the information society. We should encourage our teenagers to learn its lessons.
