This book explains with great detail and a very clear and accesible way many of the concepts behind the complex world of payments. I learned about the difference between PSPs, gateways, acquirers, issuers, etc., which were all the same for me as a software developer thrown by force into this world.
However, as the tech and payments environments advance so quickly and everything changes in such a radical way, that it seems the 8 years that have passed since the book was published, left it almost obsolete in many aspects. So, this should not be your only source of knowledge, but only an introduction to this fascinating world.

Good starter book for ecommerce fraud professionals
Liked: great overview of the CNP Fraud sector, clear explanation of the fundamentals without getting too deep in the weeds. I took away several specific approaches that I can implement immediately.
Not Liked as much: the few diagrams used were not visually the best. This mattered because they were used to explain parts like strategy development. Better visual choices could have made them more effective.
Recommendation: this would be a great book that the author could reissue every couple of years with updated info. Lots is happening in CNP since this books original publication.

Good book to understand how e-commerce and big companies like ebay and amazon work, and how all of this can be related to fraud.
It's very clear, full of examples and very easy to read.
No prior knowledge is need in order to fully understand the book.
In summary, it's a very good introductory book to the theme.

In general, book describes methods used in fighting fraud. Audience - small to middle merchants with no technology knowledge, who plan to deploy fraud mitigation software or technologies.
Technology changes are very fast these days, so, many companies mentioned in book have already ceased their existence.

I forgot to mention I read this. I often forget to review the things I read, but this was so jaw-droppingly useless I had to come here to one-star it. As a financial textbook on the subject, this can only possibly be of use to an extremely un-technical layman.
