NEW YORK TIMES and WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flip side our technology can be turned against us. And just over the horizon is a tidal wave of scientific progress that will leave our heads spinning—from implantable medical devices to drones and 3-D printers, all of which can be hacked, with disastrous consequences.

With explosive insights based on a career in law enforcement and counterterrorism, leading authority on global security Marc Goodman takes readers on a vivid journey through the darkest recesses of the Internet. He explores how bad actors are primed to hijack the technologies of tomorrow. Provocative, thrilling, and ultimately empowering, Future Crimes will serve as an urgent call to action that shows how we can take back control of our own devices and harness technology’s tremendous power for the betterment of humanity—before it’s too late.

"Important book to read as it provides a comprehensive overview of the types of "attacks" that are occurring on the internet, many of which you have never heard of (I consider myself a tech-saavy person, but was surprised how little I knew). Was introduced to Marc's book from Tim Ferriss' podcast. Marc does a great job of explaining how the antivirus software companies are always a step behind the hackers and what we as citizens can be doing to better protect ourselves online (e.g. password management programs, two-factor authentication, etc). Also includes fascinating anecdotes and stories from the government (e.g. hacking the Iranian nuclear program). Should be required reading for all adults given the amount of time we spend "connected" and online"

Future Crimes Inside the Digital Underground and the Battle for Our Connected World Marc Goodman Books Reviews

• Businesses, Hackers, Hactivists, Governments, Law enforcement, Criminals, Mafia, Con Artists, Bullies, Ex es, Stalkers (almost everyone) can access intimate details about your life and they don't even have to try hard to get that info.
  
  All the gadgets you use generate tons of data which is stored in systems accessible to almost everyone in the world.
  This data exists 'forever' and never gets deleted even if you decided to close all your online accounts.
  You don't even need to have online presence, your name, address, credit information, vehicle plates; everything is tracked and stored in some database somewhere.
  This data is then get sold, sliced, diced, hacked and shared with (out) your consent. Have you ever read the ‘Terms of Service’ completely before you clicked that ‘I Agree’ button?
  
  So far the book doesn't provide any solutions. Hopefully there will be some solution before the last page.
• I have been involved with computer, network, and Internet security since the mid '70s. I started programming operating systems in 1968. This book collects all the threats we have faced historically in the first dozen chapters. Then Mr Goodman paints a very clear picture of the security and privacy threats we face in the next five to ten years. This book is a must read for everyone. Granted some parts of the book might get a little technical for some folks. Don't that stop you from reading it. It is written in a very clear and concise fashion that all readers will walk away from reading this book with their eyes wide open. Not only does Mr. Goodman identify the present and future threats, but he also offers good strategies and best practices that you can employ to mitigate a good many of the threats.

• What an eye opener. I am far from computer savvy , I do do try to keep abreast of current events and am a avid reader. I am very suspicious of the future as far as new technology is concerned. Its all pushed towards us promising us new and wonderful things but not far under these promises lurks the ability of those making promises to sneak into our private lives and uncover private and personal issues. I figure if they have made a way in they have a way out, they call it a "back door".
  I call it a invasion of privacy. This book really opens ones eye to the future possibilities of all the new technology. I highly recommend everyone to read it, if not all just skip around like I did. I am sure you will want to read more.
• There are some places where the Internet just doesn't belong. This book tells of pacemakers being hacked, planes being landed remotely, and power grids shut down by kids. And the stories get much, much freakier. I've long wondered why society has rushed to make everything web-connected without questioning (or preventing) the very real dangers such technology exposes us to daily. And apparently this is just the beginning, as our entire lives are being run by the Internet. I used to laugh at George Orwell's book "1984" -- this book shows that it's really happening.
• Scary acct of the many cyber crimes out there. The author certainly knows his stuff, but the book goes on and on, reporting horrible cyber crimes, but does not give any solutions until the very end of the book. After reading the lengthy accts of crimes, I was tempted to give up on computers. I would have liked to see more coverage of possible solutions and ways for average people to avoid trouble.
• Disclosures I do not know the author; I do not have any financial interest in this book; I did buy the book from . However, I was pleasantly surprise to see "Future Crimes" in an airport book stand. Finally, CEO's will be getting the message more clearly. This book does a good job of cataloging the security risks we all face and providing some possible remedies. The first 348 pages are a compendium of security risks. If you are in the security business, most will be common knowledge. If not, these pages provide a good overview. I can summarize by saying everything can be hacked; everything will be hacked. The challenge of this part of the book is that some of the vulnerabilities have been patched and others have appeared. I enjoyed the last two chapters, which provide some possible "ways out" for security risks. These include holding the software industry accountable; reclaiming privacy by paying for the many "free" services we use; more education; adding human centric design to security; meaningful public-private cooperation and many others. These pages were the best for me. Recommended for reading and possibly purchasing.
