Claudius Link reviewed Crime Dot Com by Geoff White
Mixed book covering a lot of cyberbercrime topic but not necesssarily deep
4 stars
Read through the first few chapters and sadly I'm slightly disappointed. I bought the book because enjoyed the podcasts of the author and also other podcasts with Geoff White. While the podcast went onto great detail I found the book to be rather shallow and some of the information and conclusions provided rather doubtful.
Generally it feels like the author is recycling his and others excellent material and tries to put it into a coherent story-line. He is only partially successful.
Generally I would recommend the book for getting an overview. If you already read about Stuxnet, Sandworm, Silk Road or other incidents you won't learn new details and might be disappointed
