In “Fancy Bear Goes Phishing,” Scott J. Shapiro draws on his popular Yale University class about hacking to expose the secrets of the digital age.
He tells the fascinating tales of perpetrators, including Robert Morris Jr., the graduate student who accidentally crashed the internet in the 1980s, the sixteen-year-old from South Boston who took control of Paris Hilton’s cell phone and the Russian intelligence officers who sought to take control of a US election, and others.
“Fancy Bear Goes Phishing” is a lively and original account of the future of hacking, espionage, and war, and of how to live in an era of cybercrime.
