DarkMarket by Misha Glenny
The benefits of living in a digital, globalised society are enormous; so too are the dangers. This book explores the three fundamental threats facing us in the 21st century: cyber crime, cyber warfare and cyber industrial espionage. It is suitable for those who use a computer: the essential crime book.
DarkMarket tells you things you will have difficulty believingThis extraordinarily powerful book explores the shadowy world of modern crime, how it knows no borders and how impossible it is to combat. DarkMarket, like McMafia- Glenny's book on the international mafia - demonstrates how utterly we lack the shared supranational tools needed to fight cyber crime and is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the world we live in -- Roberto Saviano, author of Gomorrah
America and its Western allies are spending billions to perfect future cyber war capability, but Misha Glenny tells us that cyber crime is right here and has been for years - hiding in plain sight. Glenny's account of the international police hunt for a hacker known as Cha0, one of the most successful cyber criminals of our time, should be required reading for the world's cyber war generals. -- Seymour M. Hersh
Nobody writes more compellingly about contemporary international crime than the author of McMafia. Misha Glenny combines a terrific pace with the best journalistic practice and stylish writing . . . Illuminating and terrifying * Globe and Mail, Canada *
