A weapon made of code reached into a fortified bunker and tore apart a thousand machines. A hostile intelligence service sat silently inside a superpower's networks for nine months, and nobody noticed. And the most secure phone in the criminal underworld was secretly run by the police.

This is cyberwar. And it is already here.

In Breach II: Cyberwar, the second book in the Breach series, fifteen true stories trace the moment cybercrime stopped being only about money and became about power. From the first weapon to cross from the digital world into the physical one, to the patient spies hiding inside the institutions we trust most, these are the attacks that redrew the front line and pulled ordinary people onto it.

You do not need a technical background. Every story reads like a thriller, and every one ends by pulling back the curtain, explaining in plain language exactly how the attack worked, and exactly how it could have been stopped.

Inside these pages: • The weapon made of code that sabotaged a nation's nuclear programme • The unapplied patch that exposed the secrets of nearly half a country • The largest data theft in history, three billion accounts, kept hidden for years • The winter night a hostile state switched off a country's power • The supply-chain attack that let one gang ransom hundreds of companies at once • The spies who lived inside a government's networks for the better part of a year • The most audacious police sting ever run, hidden inside the criminals' own phones

Who it is for: Curious readers who want to understand how the modern world really gets attacked, with no jargon required. True-crime fans hungry for a fresh, urgent genre unfolding in real time. And anyone who suspects that the headlines about hackers, ransomware, and cyberwar are really a story about them.

n

Breach II: Cyberwar can be read entirely on its own, or alongside the first book in the series. By the final page, you will not just have read about the attacks that defined the decade. You will understand them, well enough to recognise the next one when it comes for you.
