We live our lives online – banking, shopping, working, dating – but have we become complacent?

Who's got your money?
We share our personal details, our thoughts and movements with a faceless screen, with no real idea what lies behind it.

Who's got your identity?
DarkMarket exposes the shocking truth about what lurks behind our computers: an underground crime network that invades our privacy and threatens our security on a daily basis.

Who's got your life?
Glenny tracks down the key players – including criminals, national and international security experts, police, crack addicts, the Saudi Royal Family, and most importantly, victims – to reveal the true scale of this new global threat.

Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2012

Very illuminating

10 April 2018

Misha Glenny is a skilled writer. This book reads more like a novel of a number of stories about the same subject, rather than a dry technical book about cybernet/cybercrime. That's Glenny's style. Overall, a very good read and very educational for those that want to know what is likely to exist 'out there'. I think the book was completed around 2012 so, in a sense, it is 'old'. However, the characters and organisations written about are likely to be replicated as time goes by.

I thoroughly agree that while criminals should be punished, there should also be very serious attempts to harness their expertise. "Geeks" live in a very different world to the vast majority of us 'normal' folk and it is difficult for the likes of me to understand what drives them.

Thank you Mr. Glenny for a very interesting, and sort of scary, read.

Fascinating and scary!

This is a brilliant, if disturbing, read. Although factual, it is written in the style of a thriller and I found it hard to put down. It makes one realise how vulnerable we all are to fraud or intrusion online and reassess in whose hands power lies in the internet age. Who would have thought ... it could just be that seemingly shy 'computer geek' right next door. I would also recommend Nemesis by Misha Glenny.

A fantastic read, truly amazing facts relating to global cyber crime, country’s security infrastructure which become real issues when breached by highly international syndicates working from far reaching locations to cause such devastation from working keyboards.

Interesting though sometimes disjointed and repetitive

Interesting read for a total novice into the topic of cyber-security though really the main topic covered in this book is credit card fraud and related security (failures) by financial institutions and e-commerce alike. It focuses on DarkMarket and its predecessor. I was considering a 3-star rating, but give it 4 stars for novelty factor (as mentioned, I have not read anything on this topic before).

I highly recommend this book to my generation (over 55's who are objecting to using ATM machines and being almost coerced by Banks to change their branch-based accounts to online banking so that banks save huge amounts of money to give to their shareholders for whom the world is not enough.

If you want to know what a dangerous world exists out there in cyber, then this is a good way of finding out. Another wonderful way forward for the human race, hijacked by evil minded people who choose to spoil for the majority. A well researched book that should be read by everybody who enters cyber world. Be prepared to see what dangers lurk out there and how easy it is for those who seek to destroy/disrupt a fantastic tool for use by anyone who can access the internet.
