About this listen

An up close and personal look at cyber espionage and digital spycraft

In Cyber Recon: My Life in Cyber Espionage and Ransomware Negotiation, thirty-year cybersecurity veteran Kurtis Minder delivers a fascinating exploration of real-world cyber espionage in some of the most dangerous places on the internet. He explains how cyber espionage is performed, the tools and skills that people like him use all the time, and the consequences of engaging with cybercriminals on a daily basis.

You'll learn about how private organizations spy on bad guys and how they negotiate with ransomware criminals to try and recover stolen data. You'll also discover critical lessons that Minder has learned as he's led his digital risk company, GroupSense, through many of the most dramatic incidents of online crime of the last few decades.

Inside the book:

● Dozens of original profiles of cyber espionage and negotiation professionals

● Anecdotes and illuminating stories about the author's experience building a business in the cyber market

● An original, non-technical primer on the people that populate the cyber risk landscape and the methods they use to carry out attacks
