Crime Dot Com Zusammenfassung

Crime Dot Com: From Viruses to Vote Rigging, How Hacking Went Global Geoff White

On 4 May 2000, an email that read 'kindly check the attached LOVELETTER' was sent from Philippines. Attached was a virus, the Love Bug, and within days it had paralysed banks, broadcasters and businesses across the globe. The age of Crime Dot Com had begun. Geoff White charts the astonishing development of hacking, from its birth among the ruins of the Eastern Bloc to its coming of age as the most pervasive threat to our connected world. He takes us inside the workings of real-life cybercrimes, revealing how the tactics of high-tech crooks are now being harnessed by nation states. From Ashley Madison to the 2016 US Presidential Election, Crime Dot Com is a thrilling account of hacking, past and present, and how we might protect ourselves from it.

Crime Dot Com Bewertungen

"White is one of the most authoritative reporters on cybercrime and Crime Dot Com is an informative, accessible, and entertaining tour of the cyber underworld. If you want to understand everything from ransomware to nation-state attacks on key infrastructure this is an excellent primer."--Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC News
"Brilliantly written and researched, Crime Dot Com is a vivid insight into the scale of the threat to us all from crime born of and facilitated by the digital age."--Jon Snow, Channel 4 News (UK)
"White writes with insight and flair about a subject that concerns everyone--or should do. Criminals, hooligans, hostile state actors and terrorists attack our computers and networks every minute of every day. Our money, security and freedom are at risk. Yet the public is still pitifully unaware of the threats we face--and what we need to do to protect ourselves at an individual, business, and government level. Crime Dot Com joins the dots, painting a well-informed, easy-to-understand, and up-to-date picture of the mounting dangers caused by our complacency, greed, and ignorance."--Edward Lucas, author of Deception: Spies, Lies and How Russia Dupes the West
