Synopsis
"Cyberpunk" takes a journey into the world of computer crime and the new breed of criminal which threatens every type of business. There is Kevin Mitnick, the archetypal "dark side" hacker who penetrated the top-secret research group of one of the US's leading computer corporations. Also Pengo, a young Berliner, whose criminal fantasies led him to offer his services to the Soviet gorvernment. And Robert Morris, who brought down a nationwide computer network and first alerted the business world to the danger of viruses. This book takes the reader inside the minds of these outlaw hackers, showing what motivates them, how they operate, and how they and others like them can be prevented in the future.
