This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine

Listen to the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast Interview

Sausalito, Calif. – Aug. 9, 2024

In the hardcover book, “Manipulated: Inside the Cyberwar to Hijack Elections and Distort the Truth,” cybersecurity expert Theresa Payton tells battlefront stories from the global war being conducted through clicks, swipes, internet access, technical backdoors and massive espionage schemes.

Payton, the former CIO at The White House, investigates the cyberwarriors who are planning tomorrow’s attacks, weaving a fascinating yet bone-chilling tale of artificial intelligence mutations carrying out attacks without human intervention, “deepfake” videos that look real to the naked eye, and chatbots that beget other chatbots.

Finally, Payton offers readers telltale signs that their most fundamental beliefs are being meddled with and actions they can take or demand that corporations and elected officials must take before it is too late.

Payton recently came on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast to tell us about the second edition of her popular book.
