Description

Crime Dot Com: From Viruses to Vote Rigging, How Hacking Went Global by Geoff White. The dawn of the digital age brought with it a new era of online mayhem. In 2000, an email virus spread rapidly across the globe, paralyzing banks and businesses in its wake. This was just the beginning of the "age of Crime Dot Com", as investigative journalist Geoff White reveals in this book. White charts the development of hacking from its conception in the US' hippy tech community in the 1970s to its current form as a pervasive threat to our connected world. He takes us inside real-life cybercrimes, drawing on interviews with those behind devastating hacks, and explains how tactics employed by high-tech crooks are being used by nation states to target voters and cripple power networks. From Anonymous to the Dark Web, White's account is a thrilling and terrifying exploration of hacking past and present, what the future holds, and how we might protect ourselves from it.
