The inside story of how America's enemies launched a cyber war against us-and how we've learned to fight back
With each passing year, the internet-linked attacks on America's interests have grown in both frequency and severity. Overmatched by our military, countries like North Korea, China, Iran, and Russia have found us vulnerable in cyberspace. The "Code War" is upon us.
In this dramatic book, former Assistant Attorney General John P. Carlin takes readers to the front lines of a global but little-understood fight as the Justice Department and the FBI chases down hackers, online terrorist recruiters, and spies. Today, as our entire economy goes digital, from banking to manufacturing to transportation, the potential targets for our enemies multiply. This firsthand account is both a remarkable untold story and a warning of dangers yet to come.
Industry Reviews
"John Carlin has written a crucial book- for practitioners and laymen
alike-about the evolution, impacts, and implications of the abuses
we've all witnessed, and many have personally experienced, in the
cyber domain. Cyber is yet another example of the dual-edged nature of
technology: huge benefit to mankind on one hand, and the potential for
great harm on the other. And, unique to this book, is the historical
description of how we have tried to respond to the harmful activities that
occur all too frequently in the cyber domain. An interesting read, with
vivid detail. John represents a superb amalgam of legal
insight and great writing skill. A must read in my view."-James Clapper, New York Times bestselling author and former
Director of National Intelligence
