Kingpin

Więcej o książce

"Former hacker Kevin Poulsen has, over the past decade, built a reputation as one of the top investigative reporters on the cybercrime beat. In 'Kingpin, ' he pours his unmatched access and expertise into book form for the first time, delivering a gripping cat-and-mouse narrative--and an unprecedented view into the twenty-first century's signature form of organized crime. The word spread through the hacking underground like some unstoppable new virus: Someone--some brilliant, audacious crook--had just staged a hostile takeover of an online criminal network that siphoned billions of dollars from the US economy. Through the story of this criminal's remarkable rise, and of law enforcement's quest to track him down, 'Kingpin' lays bare the workings of a silent crime wave still affecting millions of Americans."--Publisher description
