An immersive, pulse-pounding expos on the global rise of teenage hackers, offering an insider's portrait of the dark net and the key players who are disrupting corporations, government institutions and our everyday lives--for fans of Bad Blood and Uncanny Valley Julius Kivimaki, aka Zeekill, is arguably the most hated hacker in history. In one of the world's cruelest cyberattacks, he blackmailed 30,000 psychotherapy patients with their stolen notes.

Propulsive, urgent and scrupulously reported, Ctrl + Alt + Chaos tracks the rise and fall of global hacking groups to ask the question: How can we stop the cycle of teenage boys hijacking life online?

Julius Kivimäen ja muiden hakkerien jäljilläCtrl+Alt+Kaaos on BBC:n kybertoimittajan Joe Tidyn kirjoittama ensimmäinen kattava kuvaus kansainvälisestä hakkerien maailmasta. Ctrl+Alt+Kaaos on hänen ensimmäinen kirjansa.Julius Kivimäki lienee maailman vihatuin hakkeri. Vuosina 2018-2019 hän murtautui Psykoterapiakeskus Vastaamon potilastietokantaan ja varasti yli 30 000 ihmisen potilastiedot. Yritettyään kiristää ihmisiä Kivimäki päätyi julkaisemaan tietoja Tor-verkossa, joutui Interpolin etsintälistalle ja pidätettiin Ranskassa vuonna 2023.Kivimäen historiallisen törkeää rikosta tutkinut BBC:n toimittaja Joe Tidy on seurannut tapausta tiiviisti ja päässyt haastattelemaan häntä useaan otteeseen. Tässä kirjassa Tidy kuvaa 12-vuotiaana hakkerin uransa aloittaneen Kivimäen toimintaa osana viimeisten kymmenen vuoden aikana tapahtunutta teinihakkerien nousua. Tidy kuvaa hakkeriryhmien välisiä yhteyksiä ja niiden kehitystä sekä sitä, kuinka jokainen ryhmä on edeltäjäänsä röyhkeämpi, aggressiivisempi ja jopa väkivaltaisempi. Tidy myös pohtii, miten voimme tulevaisuudessa vastata kyberrikollisuuden haasteisiin paremmin.Joe Tidy on BBC:n ensimmäinen kybertoimittaja. Viimeisten viiden vuoden aikana hän on raportoinut kyberhyökkäyksistä BBC:n televisio- ja radiokanavilla, sosiaalisessa mediassa ja verkkosivuilla.
