Overview

What are the facts behind the cyberattacks that regularly hit the news headlines? Cybertwists explains:

  • How attackers abuse the fabric of the internet to forge messages and bring down websites
  • How viruses, worms, ransomware and individual hackers exploit loopholes in existing software
  • How blockchain enables Bitcoin, and how Bitcoin and Tor keep criminals anonymous on the dark web
  • How encryption works and how encryption methods have been cracked
  • How the Internet of Things is a hacker's dream and cyberwar is a nation's nightmare

The explanations are backed up with engaging accounts of past attacks carried out by criminals and secret services on companies, governments and individuals.
