About this listen

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.

Wonderfully in-depth look into Russian email spam

The book covers the interactions and major dealings by major players in the Russian email spam industry circa 2003-2011, with a short "Where are they now?" style final chapter. Definitely recommended for anyone curious about where all the spam came from, how it propagated, or simply interested in a bit of history in InfoSec.

You can tell it's written by a journalist though. Krebs likes to repeat himself in his explanations a bit. This is fine for reader/listener comprehension, but gets a little tiresome when listening for longer periods at a time.

Boring!

you can tell Krebs put a lot of detailed work into the research of this book. however the translation of this material into an interesting book is a fail. i spaced out in parts and couldn't wait for the end.
