An immersive, pulse-pounding exposé on the global rise of teenage hackers, offering an insider's portrait of the dark net and the key players who are disrupting corporations, government institutions and our everyday livesâfor fans of Bad Blood and Uncanny Valley
In this gripping true crime narrative, cybersecurity correspondent Joe Tidy reveals that there is one area of the criminal underworld that is being underestimated at our perilâthe dark digital underbelly where teenage boys are reshaping cybersecurity, cryptocurrency and organized crime under the noses of their parents.
In Ctrl+Alt+Chaos, Tidy explores:- the story of Julius Kivimaki, aka Zeekill, arguably the most hated hacker in history.
- a cyberattack in which 30,000 psychotherapy patients were blackmailed with their stolen notes.
- how hackers as young as 12 are taking down major international corporations and government assets
- the technology being used the track down these hackers and bring them to justice
- the efforts being made to re-direct young hackers' talents towards law-abiding, life-affirming endeavors
Propulsive, urgent and scrupulously reported, Ctrl + Alt + Chaos tracks the rise and fall of global hacking groups to ask the question: How can we stop the cycle of teenage boys hijacking life online?
