Description
"Lucas [examines the cybercrime] confronting our security--both for individuals and nations. The uncomfortable truth is that we do not take cybersecurity seriously enough. Strong regulations on automotive safety or guidelines for the airline industry are commonplace, but when it comes to the Internet, it might as well be the Wild West. Standards of securing our computers and other Internet-connected technology are diverse, but just like the rules of the road meant to protect both individual drivers and everyone else driving alongside them, weak cybersecurity on the computers and Internet systems near us put everyone at risk"--Dust jacket flap.

Light on details. A little passe. Got me thinking about about the strategic logic of cyber ware though. Well written.

Kind of scarey overview of the dangers of the Internet. It was designed to be free and open, not particularly secure. It was based on trust. It has become so essential and huge that defending against cyber attacks, etc. is not easy. Vital reading for anyone concerned with security and online use.
