computer whiz Barrett Lyon and a fearless British high-tech agent.
Through these heroes, Menn shows the evolution of cyber-crime from
small-time thieving to sophisticated, organized gangs, who began by
attacking corporate websites but increasingly steal financial data from
consumers and defense secrets from governments. Using unprecedented
access to Mob businesses and Russian officials, the book reveals how top
criminals earned protection from the Russian government. Fatal System Error
penetrates both the Russian cyber-mob and La Cosa Nostra as the two
fight over the Internet's massive spoils. The cloak-and-dagger adventure
shows why cyber-crime is much worse than you thoughtand why the
Internet might not survive.
