More about the book

In 2014, a series of mysterious cyberattacks began, targeting American utility companies, NATO, and Eastern European electric grids. These attacks escalated, peaking in the summer of 2017 with the NotPetya malware, which disrupted major global businesses, including drug manufacturers and shipping companies. In Ukraine, the impact was severe: ATMs froze, transport systems halted, and hospitals lost power. NotPetya caused an unprecedented ten billion dollars in damage, marking it as the most destructive cyberattack in history. The hackers, known as Sandworm, have gained notoriety as a formidable group of cyberwarriors operating under Russia's military intelligence agency. They are a persistent and skilled threat, launching unrestrained attacks on critical infrastructure, affecting both government and civilian targets. This narrative unfolds as a chilling detective story, examining the dangers Sandworm poses to national security and global stability. As the Kremlin's involvement in foreign manipulation becomes clearer, the text highlights the realities of Russia's digital offensive and the blurring lines between digital and physical conflict, revealing profound implications for modern warfare.
