​Kingpin - Book Review

[James Paine]

2016 Goal Read 52 Books!  (5/52)

I am well on my way of hitting 52 books this year. My roommate got a free download somehow of this book about hackers so I gave it a read.  This isn't a real estate book but when reading 52 books a year sometimes you have to read what's in front of you. 

If nothing else this book is pretty interesting. It details the credit card crime world, unground exchanges, and computer hacking. Normally in my book reviews, I post several bullet point takeaways but I don’t have a ton for this book but I will try my best.

- Your information is much more secure now with the chips inside credit cards.

- Good hackers can hack everything.

- Most of the security breaches came from Microsoft related products especially Internet Explorer.

- Most all credit card theft comes from making purchases in person, not on the internet.

Overall this is a good intro book into hacking and cyber crimes. This is a true story and does give you some pretty good relevant information.
