KINGDOM OF LIES

Kate Fazzini

Unnerving Adventures in the World of Cybercrime

A colorful, character-driven narrative, KINDOM OF LIES takes an authoritative, behind-the-scenes look at the interconnected cultures of hackers, security specialists, and law enforcement personnel.

Cybercrime is a universal concern. Yet very few of us understand the severity of the situation, and even fewer know anything about the people behind these attacks. Who are these hackers? Where do they live? Who do they target? How are they caught and held accountable for their crimes? How do they escape justice?

A colorful, character-driven narrative, KINDOM OF LIES takes an authoritative, behind-the-scenes look at the interconnected cultures of hackers, security specialists, and law enforcement personnel. This is a book about people - the individuals who inhabit these worlds are pushing forward into a murky future with high stakes. In the tradition of Barbarians at the Gates, KINDOM OF LIES highlights journalist and expert Kate Fazzini's eye for detail and atmosphere. You will remember these characters and worlds as cybercrime dominates the national conversation more and more in the near future.

Kate Fazzini is a cybersecurity expert and Wall Street Journal writer. She is launching the Journal's new "Pro Cybersecurity" section soon and will continue to be the paper's undisputed authority on the subject. She is professor of cybersecurity at the University of Maryland, and will be taking on a similar role within the Cyber Intelligence program at Georgetown University next year. After earning her master's degree in cybersecurity, she worked in security operations at some of the world's largest companies, then continued as a consultant at even more.

"Kate Fazzini's work breaking complex cybersecurity news down for a consumer audience is critical. She is tackling this unconventional topic by providing an alternative perspective on the threat, actors and convoluted dynamics." ?Dr. Frederic Lemieux, author of Intelligence and State Surveillance in Modern Societies, and Faculty Director of the Applied Intelligence and Cybersecurity Programs, Georgetown University

"Kate Fazzini brings to life in easy-to-understand language the crazy, cryptic, confounding world of cybersecurity in Kingdom of Lies. Fazzini puts her substantial journalism skills to good use, working all the angles to extract the innermost thoughts of the people perpetrating cybercrimes, those trying to stop them and the enterprising souls who work both sides of the equation." ?Ben DiPietro, veteran risk and anti-money laundering editor, The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones Newswires and the Associated Press

Kate Fazzini has crafted a gripping page-turner that is all too timely and real. Good luck putting it down ? or going to sleep once you do.

Kingdom of Lies is a brilliant and bold debut, as full of suspense as the best crime thrillers. Kate Fazzini exposes the truths of the cyber world with great skill and style. Turn off your smart phone and read this book.

"Cybersecurity isn't just ones and zeros, it's also about the people who sit behind the keyboards ? something Fazzini describes in vivid detail." ?Naveed Jamali, former U.S. Naval Reserve intelligence officer and a reserve officer with the Defense Innovation Unit, a Silicon Valley partnership with the Department of Defense and author of How to Catch a Russian Spy

Wow. Kate Fazzini is the rare top-level reporter who can make you see, smell and feel a hidden world, not just understand it. Cybercrime (and security) has found its Michael Lewis.
