About this book

An up close and personal look at cyber espionage and digital spycraft

In Cyber Recon: My Life in Cyber Espionage and Ransomware Negotiation, 30-year cybersecurity veteran Kurtis Minder delivers a fascinating exploration of real-world cyber espionage in some of the most dangerous places on the Internet. Through his experiences watching and hunting cybercriminals as varied as lone wolfs, the Russian mafia, and other official and unofficial nation-state hackers, he explains how cyber espionage is performed, the tools and skills that people like him use all the time, and the consequences of engaging with cybercriminals on a daily basis.

Kurtis teaches you that the same operational security that keeps him and his team of spies safe will keep you and your organization's secrets safer too. And you'll explore whether fake personas on the internet are always bad or are there legitimate business uses for Romanian speaking sock puppets? You'll also discover critical lessons that Minder has learned as he's led his digital risk company, GroupSense, through many of the most dramatic incidents of online crime of the last few decades.

Inside the book:

Original profiles of cyber espionage and negotiation professionals so you're learning from Jax Scott, Jon DiMaggio, Jason Ingalls, Beau Woods, Brye Ravattine and many more, with QR-code links to extended YouTube interviews
An original, non-technical primer on the people that populate the cyber risk landscape and the methods they use to carry out attacks
Steps to avoid becoming a target of Lockbit, BlackMatter, NotPetya, and next year's most dangerous ransomware as well as how to minimize the business damage when you are a victim
How the intersection of business negotiation and hostage negotiation relates to high-stakes ransomware negotiations
The fast-moving transformation generative AI is unleashing in cyber attacks and defense

An inside look at an endlessly interesting corner of the field of cybersecurity, Cyber Recon is also a must-read for anyone interested in spycraft, technology, hacking, or digital entrepreneurship.
