Book Synopsis



INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

National security strategist and former FBI counterintelligence operative Eric O'Neill exposes how nefarious cybercriminals relentlessly attempt to access your data and wallet, and arms you with his proven tactics for spotting and neutralizing cyberthreats to protect yourself, your family, and your business.

Cybercriminals, domestic and foreign, are launching attacks day and night using malware, phishing scams, deepfakes, artificial intelligence, and other unscrupulous schemes designed to steal your data and hold it hostage. When they win, it costs nations, businesses, and individuals trillions of dollars annually--a figure so massive that it ranks as the third largest economy in the entire world.

It's possible to fight back, but it'll take more than a strong password. Drawing on his years of experience as an FBI spy hunter and national security strategist, Eric O'Neill casts light on these malicious actors' tactics for stealing personal data and exploiting victims. Armed with this knowledge, O'Neill shares his method--called PAID--that you can use to defend yourself and stop attackers in their tracks:

    Prepare: Pinpoint your most critical data, identify where it resides and who can access it, and build your defenses around it.Assess: Continuously reassess your security and apply counterintelligence tactics to identify scams and cyberattacks..Investigate: Stay educated and hunt the threat before the threat hunts you.Decide: Using your new aptitude, make smart, rapid decisions under pressure..

Written by a top expert in the field and with the page-turning readability of a true crime thriller, Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime offers easy-to-follow steps for staving off cyberattacks, securing data, and keeping private information safe in an increasingly digital and dizzying world.



Review Quotes




"Required reading for founders and innovators. Eric O'Neill helped catch the most famous spy in US history and now hunts cybercriminals. He brings both worlds to life brilliantly in Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime, which reads like a thriller but delivers like a playbook. Read it for the same reason I did: you don't want to become a case example for his next book." -- Safi Bahcall, bestselling author of Loonshots: Nurture the Crazy Ideas that Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries

"As someone who spent a decade undercover for the KGB, I recognize the tactics of deception--whether they come from a Cold War operative or a keyboard warrior ensconced in his mother's basement. In Spies, Lies and Cybercrime, Eric O'Neill makes one thing clear: today's most dangerous cyberattacks are espionage by another name. It takes a spy hunter to stop a spy, and Eric is one of the best. Read this book and follow his advice to to avoid ending up a helpless victim" -- Jack Barsky, former KGB deep-cover operative and author of Deep Undercover

"Cybercriminals are the wrong kind of disruptors. One breach can sink a business--or a billion-dollar idea. Spies, Lies and Cybercrime is essential reading for anyone who wants to build boldly and stay protected." -- Marc Randolph, co-founder and first CEO of Netflix

"O'Neill deftly attests [that] taking proper precautions can limit, if not halt, the damage wrought by unscrupulous cybercriminals. His masterful book serves as an important guide for individuals and companies committed to avoiding an epic misstep." -- Booklist

"Part spy story, part survival manual--O'Neill has written the ultimate guide to outsmarting the predators who prowl our digital world. Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime is a chilling and essential wake-up call that reads like a thriller, but every word is terrifyingly real." -- Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Edge of Honor
