Unfortunately this edition has to be way beyond 60-seconds. I’m in the second reading of Future Crimes: Everything Is Connected, Everyone Is Vulnerable and What We Can Do About It, actually I’m listening to the Audible version, and just ordered the print version. This could possibly be the most important book of the decade and I urge anyone reading this to get a copy and study it.
Many of you already know that I’ve been involved in tracking cyber activities since the late 1980s. I have not been digging into the intracies of how it works or the background — but rather about discovery, tracking and reporting. I’ve been a highly active Spamcop user/agent, and active participating Knujon user and evangelist. As a reporter for UGNN and Safenetting, I’ve have closely followed the threats arriving in the mailbox and on the web, as well as tracking and discovering where the threats are coming from, who could be behind them, and the owners/publishers of the sites and internet resources they use. What we’ve learned over the past decade is that following the money trail is not necessarily the thread to chase. Since the late 1990s, cyber crime and cyber intrusion has taken on another level of divisiveness for religious, political and societal gain.
If you read (or listen to) Future Crimes you will begin to understand what the security community has been preaching about for over three decades. Add these references to your reading list, and you’ll see the rest of the iceberg that is the cyber world:
- Tor and The Dark Net: Remain Anonymous and Evade NSA Spying
- @War: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex Paperback
- Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know®
- Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data
- The Dark Net: Inside the Digital Underworld
- Cybersecurity for Beginners

@War: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex Paperback
@War: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex PaperbackChristian Science Monitor says
Unsettling . . . A deeply informative account of how corporations, governments, and even individuals are rapidly perfecting the ability to monitor and sabotage the Internet infrastructure. 
The wars of the future are already being fought today. The United States military currently views cyberspace as the “fifth domain” of warfare (alongside land, air, sea, and space), and the Department of Defense*, the National Security Agency*, and the CIA* all field teams of hackers who can, and do, launch computer virus strikes against enemy targets. As recent revelations have shown, government agencies are joining with tech giants like Google and Facebook to collect vast amounts of information, and the military has also formed a new alliance with tech and finance companies to patrol cyberspace.
Shane Harris offers a deeper glimpse into this partnership than we have ever seen before, and he explains what the new cyber security regime means for all of us who spend our daily lives bound to the Internet—and are vulnerable to its dangers.
Rise of the Military-Internet Complex Paperback by Shane Harris

Rich with historical research and revelatory reporting, The Dark Net is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at a world that doesn’t want to be known. The Dark Net: Inside the Digital Underworld by Jamie Bartlett What is the Dark Web?

Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World ~ Bruce Schneier
Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World ~ Bruce SchneierYour cell phone provider tracks your location and knows who’s with you. Your online and in-store purchasing patterns are recorded, and reveal if you’re unemployed, sick, or pregnant. Your e-mails and texts expose your intimate and casual friends. Google knows what you’re thinking because it saves your private searches. Facebook can determine your sexual orientation without you ever mentioning it.
But have we given up more than we’ve gained? In Data and Goliath, security expert Bruce Schneier offers another path, one that values both security and privacy. He brings his bestseller up-to-date with a new preface covering the latest developments, and then shows us exactly what we can do to reform government surveillance programs, shake up surveillance-based business models, and protect our individual privacy. You’ll never look at your phone, your computer, your credit cards, or even your car in the same way again.

Making matters worse
In today’s world, political pressure makes the situation much worse. We all watched Barack Obama mocked Mitt Romney’s position that Russia was a threat with the line, “The 80s want their foreign policy back” knowing it was not true. Now, Obama is blaming Russia for Hillary Clinton’s loss of the 2016 election to Donald Trump, saying all those embarrassing revelations about her came from a Russian hack — but then saying he wasn’t sure of that. The media is having a hey-day — when they are all out to lunch merely political posturing — to put it nicely. President Bill Clinton started the slippery slope by privatizing the DNS system, taking it out of the DOD control. Now, President Obama has turned the slippery slope into an avalanche by removing it from US oversight. It’s all downhill from here.
The amount of deceit, denial and diversion in the media and politics is beyond belief. To quote Marc Goodman in Future Crimes : “The public is incredibly ignorant!”. If you don’t want to be one of those of whom he speaks, and you would like to arm yourself against future crimes, then educate yourself. The reading list above is a good start.
… and, thanks for reading
