A nineteen-year-old Romanian student stumbles into a criminal ransomware ring in her village; soon she is extorting Silicon Valley billionaires for millions. A cynical Russian only leaves his tiny New Jersey apartment to hack sports cars at a high-performance shop in Newark. A hotel doorman in Shanghai builds up a private side-venture selling the data he takes from business travelers. What do small-time criminals, multi-billion-dollar corporations, and global superpowers have in common? Fazzini introduces us to the hackers, thieves, con artists, and heroes who are making history in the shadows. -- adapted from jacket
