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.

Reseñas editoriales

"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)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Not only would I recommend it to my Cyber Security Colleagues, I will and have recommended it to a number of technical & non-technical & Leadership professionals that can use the stories in Brian's book to put some context around many of the things we encounter everyday...anywhere from a DDOS attack, phishing email or stolen credit card numbers.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the level of detail that Brian was able to provide - you can't make this stuff up! It takes a great story teller to explain the technical crud and avoid putting your audience to sleep. Brian does a good job grabbing you, let go a few times, and then loops everything back around in the end.

Which scene was your favorite?

I really liked That he was crazy enough to travel overseas and meet some of these people...it's not for the faint of heart, and I will bet that Brian was much more nervous than he let on.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

unfortunately, I have a bit of a personal conection to a few chapters from the book...not with Mr. Krebs, although I have seen him at a couple industry events. My biggest reaction was more of - ahaaa, that is why this stopped happening, or "that explains a lot".

Any additional comments?

I did the kindle and audio versions, the audio was great, but I had to get past the Russian narratives, after a while, ey just became funny parts of the story...as They were probably meant to be.

Risky topic, but Br. Krebs hits it out of the park

If you could sum up Spam Nation in three words, what would they be?

Gonzo tech journalism

What was one of the most memorable moments of Spam Nation?

When Krebs finally goes to Russia; after the slow burn of the preceding 10 or so chapters this climax was sincerely exciting.

Which character – as performed by Christopher Lane – was your favorite?

As great as his Russian accent is, it was the New Yorker that gave me the biggest smile.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Krebs's trip to Russia.

Any additional comments?

I appreciate how personal this book is. It's not just a journalistic account of the activities of an unscrupulous subculture, but it's also introspective and includes the author and his perceptions in the narrative. The first-person account makes the story all the more interesting. It's not all edge-of-your-seat riveting intrigue, but all the detail is essential background into an ever-changing modern criminal landscape.

Thorough but a bit dry

I recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand the extent of the spam problem and what's behind it. Very well researched.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Maybe if someone wants a glimpse into this seedy underworld, sure. Mostly this book was too long, felt labourous, and fairly boring.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Only if rewritten.

Missed the mark

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Interesting content but difficult to follow.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator's Russian accent was achieved by slurring words to the point that he couldn't be understood.

Poor Narration

As someone who works in the IT Security space, I now have a deeper respect for the fight against spam, thanks to this book. excellent work Mr. Krebs.

A riveting look behind the mask of spam

A lot of really good information here for all of us - techies and non-techies. God bless the author for his investigative reporting on the dark forces behind cybercrime. Bringing this story to a broader audience may attract more heads into the game. Maybe someday we will come up w a solution. Thank you for doing all of this work for us. I hope this work is getting the recognition it deserves.

Thank you thank you thank you

Lots of lengthy dialogue that adds little value, but it's still a great read to gain a better understanding of the issue of spam and the future of cybercrime

Fascinating topic, less than perfect execution

good narrator, highly interesting. my small memory had trouble keeping the names of people sorted, but there's really not many players to keep track of, thankfully.

an excellent survey and history

I really enjoyed this book, Brian Krebs knows what he's talking about! He goes to some great lengths to get to the bottom of the spam problem and the people behind it. He also includes tips on staying safe online and what malware can do to tour machine.

Great insight into a global problem
