- Masters of Deception
- ====================
-
- by Joshua Quittner & Michelle Slatalla
-
- Published by Vintage ISBN 0-09-957681-3
-
- This book does not rattle on about the computer under world and many
- different hero's and villains it contains. It concentrates on one of the
- most notorious hacker groups ever in the US. A group know by the acronym
- MOD, Masters of Deception.
-
- The MOD were one of the first hacker groups to become front page news
- when they were attributed to the infamous crash of the telephone network
- in the US. The book charts the birth of the MOD, its short life and its
- sudden death.
-
- But don't be put of by the lack of variety in this book as its a gripping
- read and contains some new and unpublished information that even the
- great Bruce Sterling missed for his book 'The Hacker Crackdown'.
