N2  - In Black Code, Ronald J. Deibert, a leading expert on digital technology, security, and human rights, lifts the lid on cyberspace and shows what’s at stake for Internet users and citizens. As cyberspace develops in unprecedented ways, powerful agents are scrambling for control. Predatory cyber criminal gangs such as Koobface have made social media their stalking ground. The discovery of Stuxnet, a computer worm reportedly developed by Israel and the United States and aimed at Iran’s nuclear facilities, showed that state cyberwar is now a very real possibility. Governments and corporations are in collusion and are setting the rules of the road behind closed doors...; This is not a book by a journalist who needs to ask experts to figure out the deep story. This is a book by a true expert who has spearheaded some of the most powerful investigations into internet spying. If you want some depth and perspective on the NSA scandal, look no further. Told in an engaging style, this is an essential update from the front lines of cyber crime and cyber warfare.
