Cyber Wars

"A terrifying analysis of the dark cyber underworld." * Aleks Krotoski, BAFTA and Emmy winner and presenter and writer of the BBC series Digital Human *
"Timely, well-written, informed, and entertaining. Reading this book will place you amongst those who really know where history suggests we are heading with cyber security. It won't surprise you to know the prospect isn't pretty. Essential reading for everyone who uses technology - and these days that's everyone." * Tim Vincent, CEO, Observer Solutions, and co-founder of the International Operational Technology Security Association *
"Drawing lessons from the avoidable mistakes of others, Arthur presents insights into the greatest information security failures of our time that no business of any size can afford to ignore." * Simon Moores, Chair, Annual International eCrime Congress, and visiting lecturer, Computing, Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity, Canterbury Christ Church University *
"This is not a difficult review for me to write as I absolutely loved this book which covered a number of the widest reported online frauds of the last twenty or so years and what was learned from them. It has certainly made think about my own online security and I suggest it will do likewise to others that read this. A solid five star effort." * Alan Gordon, NetGalley Reviewer *
"I found it a fascinating book. I wish that all history books were so inviting and intelligent." * Books In Brogan, NetGalley Reviewer *
"Charles Arthur's Cyber Wars takes the reader through some well-known and not so well-known hacks: Sony Pictures, HBGary, John Podesta's inbox, TJX, ransomware, TalkTalk, and Mirai. Each chapter concludes with some lessons and suggestions, but the reality is that we will never make every system secure. We can simply make it a tad harder for the hackers to penetrate "our space" and either gain access to our data or lock us out from it. The tales of woe told here explore the range of tools hackers have used. For those of us with zero hacking skills it's an enlightening, if depressing, read." * Brenda Jubin, Reading the Markets, NetGalley Reviewer *
