A really interesting look at the underground world of fraud and identity theft. Crazy how many identities a person can steal and how easy it is for them to mass produce fraudulent credit cards. The book itself is a fun read that moves almost like a novel in following on hacker as he grows as an identity thief and eventually starts running the largest forum/website for identity thieves. I highly recommend to people interested in hacker/cyber security matters. I read this for book club and I expect it will be an interesting book for discussion. If I was rating on that aspect alone, I would've given it four stars. But I ended up with three stars because while I liked the book and look forward to discussing it, the writing or the story didn't really grab me like I expected it would (to be fair, I might've gotten more out of it if I knew more about computers).
A fast-paced true crime thriller that might teach you a thing or two about cybersecurity.
