The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security
Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief."
Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government, he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent. Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims, he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. And, perhaps most importantly, Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols, training programs, and manuals that address the human element of security.

Silky Cooling Sheets
Color: 04 - Mineral Blue, Size: Queen
First experience with bamboo bedding - these are very soft, have a bit of silky weight, but are temperature-regulating sheets that are quite comfortable in any season. Beautiful blue color, and helpful elastic corner bands that ease bed-making.

Luxury feel and a cozy sleep
Color: 04 - Mineral Blue, Size: King
I was hesitant to purchase these for my new, deep king mattress due to concerns that the fitted sheet might not stay in place. I took the plunge and have absolutely no regrets, in fact, I came on here to purchase another set. The color is true to picture and beautiful. The fabric is soft, and only gets softer with each wash. The corners fit perfectly and do not budge, no slipping and shifting. I could not be happier with these sheets.

Buy these! Best sheets ever.
Color: 02 - Beige, Size: California King
These sheets are the best I have ever bought and I’m old, so I have tried many different sheets over the years. No more night sweats. I sleep so much better. I almost did not buy them because I am cheap. I also have a very think mattress and these fit very well and easy to make the bed. I actually thinking about buying another set and storing them for future use in case I can’t find them again in the future. These are very much worth the price.
