Authoritative and Up-to-Date Resource
Who hasn’t yet felt the impact of cybercrime at home or work, if in no other way than receiving unconvincing e-mails that may or may not contain malware? The Ransomeware Hunting Team puts the reader on the front lines of the newest evolutions of malicious cyber activity. This recently researched and written book does an excellent job of presenting the contemporary threats to our computers, networks, and online devices, while telling the stories of those selfless individuals using their talents to attempt to thwart the bad actors. They present the shocking means of the prevalence and versatility of the attacks, while attempting to describe what a select group of specialists is doing to counter those threats. The research is fresh from today’s news making the book highly relevant. The descriptions of the threats literally made me search for and install ways to protect my computers and devices, while making the stories of the heroes willing to help those of us affected by cybercrime relatable and engaging, many times asking for no remuneration. The authors use ransomware stories that many readers are familiar with (an attack on the City of Baltimore, the Colonial Pipeline Company, etc.) to describe the issues the Team is battling. They do an excellent job of trying to capture the bigger issues, like government involvement (both for good and evil) while reviewing individual cases. The writing style never bogs down and the stories make the reader want to keep turning the pages. In the end I was left with a realization of just how enormous and evolving cybercrime has become (as if it wasn’t already obvious). As long as extorting information for ransom continues, and as long as organizations see paying a ransom as the only solution, cybercrime will continue to grow and mature. As a society, we are clearly behind, and constantly playing catch-up, to the maligned techniques of cybercriminals. Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden provide an excellent narrative of the problem, and the burgeoning and morphing solutions. However, they also make it clear in their book that we have a long way to go to adequately protect ourselves and our institutions against those who would exploit information that has become a normal part of our daily lives. This book does an excellent job of describing the problems, potential and ongoing solutions, and some of the work remaining to be done. It is as timely as today’s headlines and a worthwhile and well-written read.
Behind the scenes – Ransomware good guys and bad guys
Gripping tales of the many dedicated and skilled people around the world that learned and fought the malware known as ransomware. Excellent insights into the history and current practices in the ransomware industry.
Must Read
If you don’t understand anything about computers, you should read this book. This will scare you into making sure you protect yourself. It’s a fast read and very interesting.
Epitome of Investigative Reporting
In the murky world of ransomeware, this book provides keen insight into what is bound to be an ever-increasing cyber plague. The investigative reporting is superlative as it delves into the minds of both the criminals and the reformers. It is a cat-and-mouse tale whose ultimate outcome is yet to be determined. The authors lay the groundwork for a war that could deeply affect the very civility of modern day society. I was left wanting for book number two to see how the future of these cyber-skirmishes plays out!
Interesting and relevant
This very well-researched book describes the history and evolution of ransomeware through the perspectives of a few key players. The narrative form keeps you interested, as does the reality that this type of cyber attack could affect any of us at any time. An interesting read on a very relevant topic.
A very interesting and important book but failed to educate it’s readers.
There are three aspects of the books that I want to emphasize 1. The characters of the book especially Mike Gillespie who is who is a badass as far as fighting ransom warenumber 2-there is Ransomeware that most companies and government were not prepared to handle, most of the Ransomeware came from other countries, especially Russia, and were able to exploit companies with very weak, cyber securitynumber three, the FBI was totally clueless on cyber crimes and the government. Bleeding computers was created to fight ransom ware and were providing free services to companies.The disappointment of the book is number one they did not tell companies or readers how to fight ransomware after 346 pages number two the writing was a little dry. They should take some lessons from Michael Lewis, who write books similar to this but in a more engaging and Reader friendly manner.
I forget why I picked up this book, maybe because I worked at a place that had been a victim of Ransomware and so a book detailing the team that became the center point for undoing the damage that ransomware does was most appealing.This was a very well researched and presented book about the BleepingComputer folks who took on ransomware at it’s inception and how they and ransomware evolved up until 2022. I never realized that they did most of their work, not for the money, but to help people. That is very rare these days. As you will see as the book progresses you run in to groups who chose to try and profit from Ransomware without the skillsets that this group had and the negative effects that produced.I give this book 4.25 stars, it’s well researched, well presented and extremely interesting. I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in cybersecurity or even just a curiosity about ransomware in general.
Very I formative
