Description

Former hacker Kevin Poulsen has, in the last decade, created a reputation as you of the most truly effective investigative journalists about the cybercrime defeat. In Kingpin, he cups his unparalleled knowledge and entry into e-book form for the first time, providing a cat -and-mouse narrative—and an unparalleled view into the twenty-first century’s trademark form of organized crime.  The term spread through the hacking underground like some easy fresh disease: Someone—some amazing, audacious crook—had simply staged a hostile takeover of a web-based legal community that siphoned vast amounts of dollars in the US economy.  The FBI hurried to start an ambitious undercover operation targeted at searching for this fresh kingpin; additional companies all over the world used a large number of dual providers and moles.
