Scattered across the world, an elite team of code crackers is working tirelessly to thwart the defining cyber scourge of our time. You’ve probably never heard of them. But if you work for a school, a business, a hospital, or a municipal government, or simply cherish your digital data, you may be painfully familiar with the team’s sworn enemy: ransomware. Again and again, an unlikely band of misfits, mostly self-taught and often struggling to make ends meet, have outwitted the underworld of hackers who lock computer networks and demand huge payments in return for the keys.

Ok Book but Lacks Cohesive Story
Revisado: 01-18-23
Book was ok. Glad I got to learn about the ransomware hunting team (RHT) and some of its key members who are absolute heroes and are worthy of so much respect. The story was all over the place though. A lot of time was spent introducing the guy who first conducted a ransomware attack, which initially made me think the book would be a story about the history of ransomware and how RHT fit within that story. Instead, the book introduces the RHT characters and goes through some of their life events. (Their jobs, spouses, health and financial troubles, etc), which turns the story into mini-biographies about some RHT members. The book also goes through some of the RHT’s interactions with US Govt agencies and private businesses. While interesting, I can’t help but wonder if it caused harm to relationships RHT members built with law enforcement, who may not be as willing to work with RHT after having their business exposed to the world. If so, that’s unfortunate and seemingly exploitive of the RHT who deserve better. On the business front, the book spent considerable time discussing how some businesses exploited ransomware for gain, however, it once again was departure from any semblance of a cohesive story. Finally, the authors didn’t seem to know how to finish the book. Overall, the book lacks a consistent story line and readers should expect interesting but sometimes random stories about RHT members and their lives with long tangents about other ransomware topics.
