Bullseye Breach

by Greg Scott

Overview

Ripped from recent headlines, this gripping cyber-attack tale has all the elements of an international thriller, including a floating corpse in the Gulf of Finland. Meet an underground criminal supply chain, its innocent victims, and an unlikely midwestern IT group with an ingenious way to fight back against the theft of millions of credit-card numbers. If data breaches were not routine by now, this story would be unbelievable. Instead, it's a snapshot of life in today's interconnected world, and an unforgettable Internet safety education. IT security has never been so riveting!

Editorial Reviews

A Michael Crichton-like whirlwind story that's very hard to put down once you pick it up. Part mystery, part suspense, part education, part technology, and all entertainment.
