Fatal System Error (2010) is a nonfiction work written by Joseph Menn that tells a story of espionage that penetrates the network of international mobsters and hackers who use the Internet to extort money from businesses, steal from tens of millions of consumers, and attack government networks.[1]
Its main characters, the heroes of the book, are Barrett Lyon and Andy Crocker. The book uses the real-life account of the capture of cybercriminals Ivan Maksakov, Alexander Petrov, and Denis Stepanov[2] to paint the picture of the cybercrime landscape.
