In early 2000, the websites of CNN, Yahoo, E*Trade, Dell, Amazon, and eBay ground to a halt for several hours, causing a sense of panic everywhere from the White House to suburbia and around the world. After two months and hundreds of hours of wiretapping, the FBI and RCMP staged a late-night raid to apprehend the most wanted man in cyberspace—a fifteen-year-old kid. Mafiaboy. For eight years, Mafiaboy, a.k.a. Michael Calce, has ignored requests from every major media outlet in North America, he has not told a word of his story—until now. Using his story as a cautionary tale, Calce takes the reader through the history of hacking and how it has helped make the internet the new frontier for crime in the tweny-first century.

In 2000 someone caused the Web sites of Amazon, CNN, Dell, E*Trade, eBay, and Yahoo! to crash, stirring panic from Silicon Valley to the White House. The FBI, police, and independent security experts launched a manhunt as President Clinton convened a cyber security summit with the leading technology experts to discuss how best to protect the nation's information infrastructure from future attacks. After two months and hundreds of hours of wiretapping, law enforcement officials executed a late-night raid and came face-to-face with the most wanted man in cyberspace: a 15-year-old kid whose username was "Mafiaboy." Despite requests from every major media outlet, that kid, Michael Calce, has never spoken publicly about his crimes--until now. Part thriller, part exposé, Calce's cautionary tale will take you on a tour of hacking and show how its rapid evolution is making the Internet the new frontier for crime in the 21st century.
