"In early 2000, the websites of CNN, Yahoo, E*Trade, Amazon, and eBay ground to a halt for several hours, causing panic everywhere from the White House to suburbia and around the world. After two months and hundreds of hours of wiretapping, the FBI and RCMP staged a late-night raid to apprehend the most wanted man in cyberspace - a fifteen-year-old kid. Mafiaboy." "For eight years, Mafiaboy, a.k.a. Michael Calce, has ignored requests from every major media outlet in North America and refused to tell his story - until now." " Using his experience as a cautionary tale, Calce takes his readers through the history of hacking and how it has helped make the internet the new frontier for crime in the 21st century."--Jacket.
