It’s a good time to be a cyberspy.

As the digital world grows, so does the importance of knowing how to maintain one’s privacy and security online. Each day brings more news about data breaches at major corporations, anonymous hackers stealing millions of dollars, and Twitter bots spreading false information to interfere with political elections—but all it takes to thwart hackers is some knowledge of their tricks.

Cyberspies: Inside the World of Hacking, Online Privacy, and Cyberterrorism is a primer on the many forms of cyberspying—both legal and illegal. This book explores career paths in cyberintelligence, looks at digital threats to both individuals and to entire governments, and provides tools to keep you and your personal information safe online.

The internet may be full of cyberspies who lie, steal, and hack, but many other cyberspies around the world are stepping up to deal with digital threats. Cybersecurity has become a booming industry continually looking for fresh talent. Armed with the knowledge contained in this book, you’ll be on your way to becoming a cyberspy in no time.
