The world has become a law enforcer's nightmare and every criminal's dream. We bank online, shop online, date, learn, work and live online. But have the institutions that keep us safe on the streets learned to protect us in the burgeoning digital world? Have we become complacent about our personal security -- sharing our thoughts, beliefs and the details of our daily lives with anyone who cares to relieve us of them? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this fascinating and compelling book, Misha Glenny, author of the international bestseller \u003cem\u003eMcMafia\u003c\/em\u003e, explores the three fundamental threats facing us in the twenty-first century: cyber crime, cyber warfare and cyber industrial espionage. Governments and the private sector are losing billions of dollars each year, fighting an ever-morphing, often invisible, and highly intelligent new breed of criminal: the hacker. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenny has travelled and trawled the world. And by exploring the rise and fall of the criminal website, \u003cem\u003eDarkMarket\u003c\/em\u003e, he has uncovered the most vivid, alarming and illuminating stories. Whether JiLsi or Matrix, Iceman, Master Splynter or Lord Cyric; whether Detective Sergeant Chris Dawson in Bolton or Agent Keith Mularski in Pittsburgh, Glenny has tracked down and interviewed all the players -- the criminals, the geeks, the police, the security experts and the victims -- and he places everyone and everything in a rich brew of politics, economics and history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is simply unputdownable. \u003cem\u003eDarkMarket\u003c\/em\u003e is authoritative and completely engrossing. It's a must-read for everyone who uses a computer: the essential crime book for our times.\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781770895980","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781770895980\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Imprint":"House of Anansi Press","MetaKeywords":"Internet; Security","NumberOfPages":"304","OtherText_Quote_from_review_0":". . . a fast-paced journey through the murkiness of the Internet underworld . . . compelling . . .","OtherText_Quote_from_review_1":"A complex, eye-opening account ... scary reading.","OtherText_Quote_from_review_2":"...required reading for anyone who wants to understand what's going on in the world today...DarkMarket works both as a thrilling read and as a primer for cyber self-defense.

The thirteenth Munk Debate, held in Toronto on Friday, May 2, 2014, pitted Michael Hayden and Alan Dershowitz against Glenn Greenwald and Alexis Ohanian to debate whether state surveillance is a legitimate defence of our freedom — the democratic issue of the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a risk-filled world, democracies are increasingly turning to large-scale state surveillance, at home and abroad, to fight complex and unconventional threats — but is it justified?
