| Summary: | The inside story of how America's enemies launched a cyber war against us, and how we've learned to fight back. The Russian attack on the 2015 election, and Vladimir Putin's continuing online skirmishes, grabbed headlines, but they're only the latest incident of America being attacked by adversaries in cyberspace, following on the heels of years of expansive Chinese espionage, North Korea's attack 00 Sony Pictures and Iran's surprise assault on Wall Street and an American casino. Now, for the first time, a person who has been America's first line of defense tells the inside story of how the country is responding. With each passing year, the internet-linked attacks on America's interests have grown in both frequency and severity. Overmatched by our military, countries like North Korea, China, Iran and Russia have found us vulnerable in cyberspace. The "Code War" is upon us. In this dramatic book, former Assistant Attorney General John P. Carlin takes readers to the front lines of a global but little-understood fight as the Justice Department and the FBI chases down hackers, online terrorist recruiters and spies. Today, as our entire economy goes digital, from banking to manufacturing to transportation, the potential targets for our enemies multiply. This firsthand account is both a remarkable untold story and a warning of dangers yet to come. |
