Inside the rise and fall of a cybercrime marketplace

Misha Glenny uses the criminal hacking site DarkMarket as a focal point for examining cybercrime as an organized, international enterprise. The book connects the everyday dependence on online banking, shopping, work, and communication with the vulnerabilities that digital systems can create. It traces DarkMarket’s emergence and collapse while bringing together accounts of the people operating in this hidden economy and the institutions attempting to investigate and prosecute them. Framed as true crime, the narrative situates hacking within broader questions of policing, security, and the changing shape of organized crime in a connected world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • True-crime readers interested in organized crime beyond traditional street-level networks
  • Readers seeking a nonfiction account of cybercrime and criminal hacking communities
  • Those interested in the challenges law enforcement faces online

Book overview

In this fascinating and compelling book--a must-read for anyone who owns a computer--Misha Glenny exposes our governments' multi-billion-dollar war against an ever-morphing, super smart new breed of criminal: the hacker.

The benefits of living in a digital, globalized society are enormous; so too are the dangers. We bank online, shop online, date, learn, work, and live online, but have the institutions that keep us safe on the streets learned to protect us from the deadly "new mafia" of cybercriminals? To answer this question, Glenny offers a vivid examination of the rise of the criminal hacking website DarkMarket and its ultimate fall. Along the way, he presents alarming and illuminating stories about both the shadowy individuals behind its scenes and the organizations tasked with bringing them to justice.
