Cyber Crime & Warfare: All That Matters

All That Matters

by Peter Warren

In Cyber Crime: All That Matters, Peter Warren and Michael Streeter outline the history, scale and importance of cyber crime. In particular they show how cyber crime, cyber espionage and cyber warfare now pose a major threat to society. After analysing the origins of computer crime among early hackers the authors describe how criminal gangs and rogue states have since moved into the online arena with devastating effect at a time when the modern world - including all the communication services and utilities we have come to take for granted - has become utterly dependent on computers and the internet.

A decent guide to the world of cybersecurity and cybercrime - but it will be extremely heavy for the curious readers who have no background in CompSci - as certain major events and viruses require additional reading into. It's also important to note that this book is quite outdated, and many organisations discussed in the book no longer exist (like SOCA).

A vital topic this book lacked was the legislation created to help fight cyber crime - Warren merely states that hacking was legal before a certain year, and nothing else after that.

6/10. Great revision resource - even I, somewhat of a whiz in the field - found myself with quite a bit of gaps in revision, and it helped reinforce much of what I already knew.

An extremely light book on cyber security. Nothing technical. It's covers the basic stuff topics about cyber security. You shouldn't take more than 2-3 days to finish this book if you focus your time properly on this book.

Easy to read and to understand. This book 'compares' cybercrime to traditional crime in away so that readers can easily understand the concept and how cybercrime works. They separate cases and chapters by how cyberspace evolve and how people responds to it. A good intro to cybersecurity and cybercrime.

Interesting small reader with a good overview on cyber security and associated crimes.
