Future Crimes: Everything Is Connected, Everyone Is Vulnerable and What We Can Do About It
I recently read and finished a book Amazon is calling the best book of 2015. Future Crimes is unlike any book I have ever read. It is too real. See short synopsis below:
One of the world’s leading authorities on global security, Marc Goodman takes readers deep into the digital underground to expose the alarming ways criminals, corporations, and even countries are using new and emerging technologies against you—and how this makes everyone more vulnerable than ever imagined.
“Addictive…. Introduces readers to this brave new world of technology, where robbers have been replaced by hackers, and victims include nearly anyone on the Web… He presents his myriad hard-to-imagine cybercrime examples in the kind of matter-of-fact voice he probably perfected as an investigator. He clearly wants us never to look at our cellphones or Facebook pages in the same way again — and in this, Future Crimes succeeds marvelously.”
— The Washington Post
The book is fascinating and I can not recommend it more. However, if you don't have the time to read I have put together book notes for your enjoyment. The book notes are some of the main ideas and concepts from the book. It lacks the stories and studies that Goodman uses to back up his findings with. You can read the book if you want those.
