4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent early book on computer related crime., November 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Mungo Approaching Zero: Data Crime and the Computer Underworld (Paperback)
I read this book when it first came out in 1993, and it impressed me as I hadn't read a book like it before. Since, however there has been a flood of books on this subject, some a lot better, some only worth pulping.

Although not very technically indepth, and at points rather vague about times and places, the general flow is good, with coverage from the early days of phreaking (including discussion about Cap'n Crunch, Jobs and Wozniak amongst others), through to the flavour of the day - Virii. It even discusses the Internet Worm and other "early" Internet hacks.

All in all a decent read, if not 100% technically adept.
