Description:
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Shady RAT: The True Story of the Cyber Espionage Attack That Changed the World For five years, they watched everything. And nobody knew. The largest cyber espionage campaign in history. 72 organizations breached. 14 countries infiltrated. One detective who exposed it all. In 2006, elite hackers launched an unprecedented cyberattack that would remain undetected for half a decade. By 2011, they had penetrated defense contractors, government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and even the International Olympic Committee—stealing military secrets, classified data, intellectual property worth billions, and private communications that could shift the balance of global power. They operated in complete darkness. Until cybersecurity expert Dmitri Alperovitch discovered a single digital footprint that unraveled everything. Shady RAT is the gripping true story of the cyberattack that exposed the hidden world of nation-state hacking and advanced persistent threats (APTs). This real-life cyber thriller chronicles how the McAfee threat research team uncovered Operation Shady RAT—and how their discovery revealed that cyber warfare wasn't a future threat. It was already happening. Duration - 4h 57m. Author - James G. Edwards II. Narrator - Digital Voice Alistair G. Published Date - Thursday, 02 January 2025. Copyright - © 2025 ELC Publishing ©.
