: In this disquieting cyber thriller, Joseph Menn takes readers into the :
: murky hacker underground, traveling the globe from San Francisco to Costa :
: Rica and London to Russia. His guides are California surfer and computer :
: whiz Barrett Lyon and a fearless British high-tech agent. Through these :
: heroes, Menn shows the evolution of cyber-crime from small-time thieving to:
: sophisticated, organized gangs, who began by attacking corporate websites :
: but increasingly steal financial data from consumers and defense secrets :
: from governments. Using unprecedented access to Mob businesses and Russian :
: officials, the book reveals how top criminals earned protection from the :
: Russian government. Fatal System Error penetrates both the Russian :
: cyber-mob and La Cosa Nostra as the two fight over the Internet's massive :
: spoils. The cloak-and-dagger adventure shows why cyber-crime is much worse :
: than you thought--and why the Internet might not survive. :
