Book Description
The book contains the life of a shy, good boy, who also enjoyed learning and with the fear of God. In the end, this boy gets behind bars, following a series of crimes: counterfeit currency, fake identity, computer fraud, the leader of an organized crime group.This boy is me, Tîrca George, and yes, I was a shy, good boy, and yes, I became one of the biggest criminals. The question I always ask myself and other people ask me is, “How did this happen? "How did that good boy end up doing that?" the answer is as easy as it is difficult. I said the answer, in fact there are several answers, but analyzing, I find a common factor: Hackerville.Râmnicu Vâlcea or Hackerville, as it was called by the international press, is for many young people the road to wealth, to happiness, a better life, but everything is a mirage, finally reaching behind bars regretting, or even worse, dying the cause of drugs, of the entourage, because of they feeling invincible.Luxurious cars, lots of money and easy things to do, expensive vacations, expensive clothes, these things attract young people to a criminal life, which in Hackerville means computer fraud. But many young people, including me, end up in custody, with their property confiscated and years in prison, or fleeing to other countries without ever being able to return. But how do we get caught? Because once we hackers evolve, the authorities evolve twice as fast,they always are one step ahead of us, not five steps back as they were 10 years ago. The Romanian authorities have appealed to the FBI, they have even appealed to other hackers, in order to be one step ahead of us.The conclusion I reached, from here in Colibaș Penitentiary, in 2016, is the following: Hackerville is a beautiful dream, the dream of any young man, but it is a short dream, then it turns into the worst nightmare a person can have.In the book presented I will go through both stages of my life, that of the good and hardworking boy, and the transformation of this boy into one of the biggest criminals, of the hacker who creates an organized group and who thinks he has the world at his feet, it is believed intangible, but ends up being punished for all the deeds committed.One of the reasons I write this book is because I see how many people think about hackers, they idolize them, I see those who are limited by nothing, but no one knows the truth, no one knows the real ins and outs of a hacker's life, and the world in which he lives

The Quest to Cyber Superiority
Author: Nir Kshetri
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783319405537
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book explains how major world economies are recognizing the need for a major push in cyber policy environments. It helps readers understand why these nations are committing substantial resources to cybersecurity, and to the development of standards, rules and guidelines in order to address cyber-threats and catch up with global trends and technological developments. A key focus is on specific countries’ engagement in cyberattacks and the development of cyber-warfare capabilities. Further, the book demonstrates how a nation’s technological advancement may not necessarily lead to cyber-superiority. It covers cybersecurity issues with regard to conflicts that shape relationships between major economies, and explains how attempts to secure the cyber domain have been hampered by the lack of an international consensus on key issues and concepts. The book also reveals how some economies are now facing a tricky trade-off between economically productive uses of emerging technologies and an enhanced cybersecurity profile. In the context of current paradigms related to the linkages between security and trade/investment, it also delves into new perspectives that are being brought to light by emerging cybersecurity issues.

The Global Cybercrime Industry
Author: Nir Kshetri
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642115225
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
The Internet’s rapid diffusion and digitization of economic activities have led to the emergence of a new breed of criminals. Economic, political, and social impacts impacts of these cyber-criminals’ activities have received considerable attention in recent years. Individuals, businesses, and governments rightfully worry about the security of their systems, networks, and IT infrastructures. Looking at the patterns of cybercrimes, it is apparent that many underlying assumptions about crimes are ?awed, unrealistic, and implausible to explain this new form of criminality. The empirical records regarding crime patterns and stra- gies to avoid and ?ght crimes run counter to the functioning of the cyberworld. The ?elds of hacking and cybercrime have also undergone political, social, and psychological metamorphosis. The cybercrime industry is a comparatively young area of inquiry. While there has been an agreement that the global cybercrime industry is tremendously huge, little is known about its exact size and structure. Very few published studies have examined economic and institutional factors that in?uence strategies and behaviors of various actors associated with the cybercrime industry. Theorists are also debating as to the best way to comprehend the actions of cyber criminals and hackers and the symbiotic relationships they have with various players.
