With a new afterword that brings the book's stories up to date,
including law enforcement's dramatic seizure of the online black
market Silk Road.
Once considered a borderless and chaotic virtual landscape, the
Internet is now home to the forces of international law and order.
It s not just computer hackers and cyber crooks who lurk in the
dark corners of the Web the cops are there, too.
In The Internet Police, Ars Technica editor Nate Anderson takes
readers on a behind-the-screens tour of landmark cybercrime cases,
revealing how criminals continue to find digital and legal
loopholes even as police hurry to cinch them closed. From the
Cleveland man whose natural male enhancement pill inadvertently
protected the privacy of your e-mail to the Russian spam king who
ended up in a Milwaukee jail to the Australian arrest that
ultimately led to the breakup of the largest child pornography ring
in the United States, Anderson draws on interviews, court
documents, and law-enforcement reports to reconstruct accounts of
how online policing actually works. Questions of online crime are
as complex and interconnected as the Internet itself. With each
episode in The Internet Police, Anderson shows the dark side of
online spaces but also how dystopian a fully ordered alternative
would be.
