Because Tanner has a secret past of computer hacking...and they want him to hack into a "top-security government facility" to get the plans for the quantum computer.
"A computer powerful enough to crack the digital safeguards of the Internet."
Keeping Tanner's parents as collateral forces him to go against everything he has promised to NEVER DO AGAIN!
"When Tanner learns that cyber-terrorists will use the quantum computer to commit massive identify theft and corporate espionage around the world" he starts an intellectual game of wits with his captors.
TWIST and TURNS will lead you on a fantastic chase of "cat-and-mouse" using the cyber-world as the background.
SO. SO. SO. GOOD!
A MUST READ!
Thought-provoking questions at the end...MAKE YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU, YOURSELF, ARE PUTTING OUT THERE ON THE COMPUTER!
About the Author
Few people understand the terrifying, yet realistic threat of computer hacking like Denver Acey. Acey has spent his entire professional career in the information technology industry where he has witnessed and even thwarted actual cybercrime. From his top-secret job working for the US government to securing computer networks at Fortune 500 companies, Acey is personally familiar with hackers and their unscrupulous activities.But over the years, Acey has become increasingly frustrated with Hollywood’s inaccurate portrayal of cybercrime. Hackers are more intelligent and more sophisticated than simple teenagers, who guzzle down Mountain Dew while playing video games. Cybercrime is a billion-dollar business that encompasses organized crime and foreign governments. For these elite hackers, the fruits of success are iconic trademarks, innovative patents, and government secrets.
Because of his unique background, Acey decided to write a book to dispel hacking myths while highlighting the tenacity of cybercriminals. Utilizing actual computer hacking concepts and scenarios that he has experienced firsthand, Acey illustrates — in a simple way for even the non-techie to understand — how vulnerable we all are to cybercrime.
