The Ransomware Hunting Team

What Michael Lewis did for baseball in Moneyball, Dudley and Golden do brilliantly for the world of ransomware and hackers. Cinematic, big in scope, and meticulously reported, this book is impossible to put down. Welcome to a brand-new world of geniuses, crooks, capers and global intrigue that you're already part of, and likely didn't even know it. --Doug Stanton, New York Times bestselling author of In Harm's Way and Horse Soldiers If you've ever used a computer, you need this book. Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden have burrowed into the digital underworld to reveal the unlikely heroes saving the rest of us from cyber chaos. The Ransomware Hunting Team is nonfiction with the narrative engine of a thriller. --Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of Fall and Rise and 13 Hours A deeply reported dive into the rising tide of digital exploitation gangs, their nefarious methods, and the scraggly band of volunteers who are fighting to keep us safe. Totally engrossing. --Julia Angwin, author of Dragnet Nation The Ransomware Hunting Team is a tour de force of investigative reporting, with more twists, turns and shadowy figures than any spy thriller. Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden take you deep inside the hidden universe of ransomware hackers and heroes--and some who may or may not be both. It's a breathtaking true tale that's astonishing and disturbing--and irresistibly readable. --Joanne Lipman, bestselling author of That's What She Said and former editor in chief of USA Today
