Editor reviews

"Krebs's talent for exposing the weaknesses in online security has earned him respect in the IT business and loathing among cybercriminals.... His track record of scoops…h as helped him become the rare blogger who supports himself on the strength of his reputation for hard-nosed reporting." ( Bloomberg Businessweek)

Summary

There is a Threat Lurking Online with the Power to Destroy Your Finances, Steal Your Personal Data, and Endanger Your Life.

In Spam Nation, investigative journalist and cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs unmasks the criminal masterminds driving some of the biggest spam and hacker operations targeting Americans and their bank accounts. Tracing the rise, fall, and alarming resurrection of the digital mafia behind the two largest spam pharmacies - and countless viruses, phishing, and spyware attacks - he delivers the first definitive narrative of the global spam problem and its threat to consumers everywhere.

Was hoping for a lot more

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

This wasn't really a story of Spam Nation, more a look at a particular Russian spammer and Brian's detailed interaction with him.

I very much like and read Brian's website krebsonsecurity which is a treasure trove of really interesting and useful information. I bought this book based on Brian's superb security industry credentials, but was very unimpressed with this offering.

Interesting

Informative and enjoyable insight into spamming and cyber attacks. Well read performance and easy to follow. A little too much on the Russian personal relationships but understandable to give context to the dangers he felt during his research.

Excellent book

Excellent book by an excellent author. Kerbs investigate work, writing style and narration is second to none. I am a security professional and found this to be a very informative and gripping tale.
