DARKMARKET: CYBERTHEIVES, CYBERCRIME AND YOU (THE WORM: CYBERCRIME, CYBERWARFARE AND YOU)

Book ID/图书代码： 03277008B28898

English Summary/英文概要： ‘The Worm’ is shorthand for all manner of malignant computer code that is passed from computer to computer. If it lands in your PC, it can turn the machine on which you chat to friends and do your weekly shop into anything from a faithless electronic thief to part of network that helps manage nuclear weapons systems for a military intelligence service.

In response, this emergent strain of crime has spawned a multi-billion dollar industry under the loose banner of Cybersecurity. The internet, hitherto a great place to work, to chat and to play games, is being transformed simultaneously into a fountain of wealth and a deadly battleground. In 2008, as other branches of the global economy were starting to contract in the onset of a worldwide recession, cyberspace was becoming witness to a new arms race – providing both jobs and a host of futuristic dramas. THE WORM is the story of this new battleground.

In 80,000 words, THE WORM will find an answer to the key questions that have been posed by the explosion of cyberspace. Misha Glenny will use his hallmark technique – combing original research of gripping narrative stories, placed within a subtle political, economic and historical context. There will be four or five key narratives, woven together using specific characters and situations. As well as explaining one of the great challenges facing the networked world, it will be an absolute page-turner, written with a view to immersing the layman into the vast and labyrinthine virtual underworld.

As a book, THE WORM will be cutting edge in harnessing the knowledge and understanding of its audience before it is even published by establishing a substantial web presence, as well as that through other new media outlets. It will be a ground-breaking publication, both in content and in form – utilizing online forums from the outset to gauge reaction from the readership pool; ‘sneak’ publicizing specific elements of ongoing research; appealing to new readers via embedded video and/or audio content; and generating its own pre-publication online community.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《网络黑帮：追踪诈骗犯、黑客与网络骗子》是一部真实、全面展示网络犯罪的作品，每一个和电脑打交道的人都应该读一读。

在真实世界中，我们会记得关窗、锁门，加上各种防盗措施。。然而上网时，我们却很少主动防御，因为网络中的危险不像凌晨两点的治安糟糕地区那样明显。

可是，一个看来完全正常的网络，潜藏着无数危险。这里活跃着诈骗犯、黑客、小偷、间谍……

你不经意间的一次点击，或许就泄露了你的隐私和身份信息。你用来和朋友聊天及网购的电脑，或许成了用来攻击他人的僵尸电脑。

相比于现实世界，网络的高科技使得受害人在全然不知的情况下就遭受了损失。网络的隐匿性，也使得警匪双方的身份更加莫名和难以掌握，于是一幕幕无间道就在虚拟世界中上演。

三年来，作者跟踪了美国和欧洲几大网络罪案，查阅大量资料和档案，进行了约200小时的访谈，用几个互有联系的真实案件，讲述了一个关于现代犯罪如何没有国界、如何阴暗，以及多么不容易被打击的故事。书中出现的都是真实的人物和真实的事件，为读者展示了网络令人惊诧甚至骇人听闻的另一面。(JD)
