A lot of well documented examples - your attitude towards internet security will never be the same, after reading this book.

Me gustó la manera en la que el autor abordó un tema que es bastante complejo y lo supo estructurar de una manera en la cual comienza con temas que estamos familiarizados como lo son las redes sociales , los datos que no nos damos cuenta que generamos , la forma en como nos exponemos ante las nuevas tecnologías, los términos de servicios que damos clic en aceptar de manera automática y todo esto lo respalda con casos desde su inicio, su desarrollo y como finalizo haciendo énfasis en las consecuencias por no haber prevenido. Después el autor nos lleva por un recorrido de cómo están dando la nueva ola de crímenes cibernéticos en donde radica su fuerza en la Deep Web la cual trabaja de manera conjunta con el Bitcoin y explica los ataque desde las comunes hasta los más complejos que podemos sufrir al navegar o al utilizar algún dispositivo tecnológico y es en este mismo recorrido donde nos muestra la evolución y nos muestra avances que se están desarrollando actualmente como son los robots tratando de centralizar todo lo que conocemos hasta el momento y combinarlo con la biología esto en conjunto va a tener un mayor impacto en la política y en la economía de los países. Y es nuestra obligación no solo de estar al tanto de las tendencias y de las nuevas tecnologías sino también de los nuevos riesgos que crecen o se crean y como impactan en nuestra vida diaria y como puede afectarnos a nosotros, pero sobre todo a las personas que nos rodean por lo que es un libro que vale la pena leer y lo mejor es que no se requieren conocimientos previos ya que el autor se encarga de darte teoría y luego proporcionarte un caso práctico para que se entienda su punto de vista.

Questo libro sarebbe da mettere come lettura nel programma scolastico.L'importante è essere consapevoli di ciò che si sta facendo, della piega che il mondo sta prendendo.Dati, privacy, sicurezza, esempi di casi reali, termini di servizio,... in questo libro c'è tutto il necessario per farsi un'idea su come il mondo si sta muovendo mentre tutti sono ignari di cosa gli sta attorno e cosa stiano facendo.

This is the most sobering book I have ever read.The Internet is a wonderful thing. It has dramatically changed our lives, and created a number of opportunities for honest people to connect with each other in meaningful (and, admittedly, in less so meaningful) ways.But it has a dark side. And it turns out we are much more vulnerable to it than we realize.Marc Goodman, the FBI’s resident futurist, details the myriad ways in which we don’t understand the internet. More importantly - and horrifyingly - he explains how our ignorance is hurting us. From the data collection capabilities and distribution practices of our most trusted websites (think Google and Facebook), to data brokers who buy and sell that information indiscriminately, to the seedy underworld of crime that flourishes in router-enabled anonymity, I had no idea what I was opening myself up to every time I opened my web browser.The Internet isn’t going away. In fact, it’s only going to become more ubiquitous. In the next decade billions of new devices will go online. Data will be streamed from your lightbulbs, your refrigerator, you front door, your wristwatch, and even the inside of your body.As of right now, that data is visible to anyone who is willing to download the right illicit ap.It’s also manipulatable.Can you trust the data you see on your screens? Can you be sure that someone isn’t live streaming you from your own camera? Has your computer been infected with malware that is logging your every keystroke and shipping it directly to identity thieves in Kiev?These are questions that it feels crazy to ask. I didn’t even think about them before reading this book. But after reading, I have no other choice but to reevaluate my relationship to the Internet. Because it turns out (again) that I don’t have any idea what’s going on.This book will give you a look into worlds that you didn’t know existed. You won’t like what you see. You may never feel the same way about Wi-Fi again. Internet security (or the present lack of it) is intimately connected with our lives. This book didn’t make me happy. But I am very glad I read it, because sometimes what you don’t know can hurt you.Technological progress is here, and accelerating faster than anyone can imagine. This book might help you survive it.
