Kingdom of Lies: Unnerving adventures in the world of cybercrime

By Kate Fazzini

Would you say your phone is safe, or your computer? What about your car? Or your bank? 

There is a global war going on and the next target could be anyone, from a global corporation to a randomly selected person. From cybercrime villages in Romania to intellectual property theft campaigns in China, these are the true stories of the hackers behind some of the largest cyberattacks in history, and those committed to stopping them. You've never heard of them and you're not getting their real names. 

Kate Fazzini has met the hackers that create new cyberweapons, hack sports cars and develop ransomware capable of stopping international banks in their tracks. Kingdom of Lies is a fast-paced look at technological innovations that were mere fantasy only a few years ago, but now make up an integral part of all our lives.
