Description
"The crime you'll never see coming. The people you'll never forget. A nineteen-year-old Romanian student stumbles into a criminal ransomware ring in her village. Soon she is extorting Silicon Valley billionaires for millions. A veteran cybersecurity specialist has built a deep network of top-notch hackers in one of the world's largest banks. But then the bank brings in a cadre of ex-military personnel to "help." A cynical Russian only leaves his tiny New Jersey apartment to hack sports cars at a high-performance shop in Newark. But he opens his door to a reporter who needs his help. A hotel doorman in Shanghai once served in the People's Army, stealing intellectual property from American companies. Now he uses his skills to build up a private side-venture selling the data he takes from business travelers. They all come together in a tangled web connecting small-time criminals, multi-billion-dollar corporations, and global superpowers. In [this book], cyber-security-professional-turned-journalist Kate Fazzini takes you into the room with the hackers, thieves, con artists, and heroes who are making history in the shadows."--Dust jacket.
