'With the nuance of a reporter and the pace of a thriller writer, Andy Greenberg gives us a glimpse of the cyberwars of the future while at the same time placing his story in the long arc of Russian and Ukrainian history.' -Anne Applebaum, bestselling author of Twilight of Democracy'A chilling account of a Kremlin-led cyberattack, a new front in global conflict" -Financial TimesThe true story of the most devastating act of cyberwarfare in history and the desperate hunt to identify and track the elite Russian agents behind it.In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses-from drug manufacturers to software developers to shipping companies. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze. The railway and postal systems shut down. Hospitals went dark. NotPetya spread around the world, inflicting an unprecedented ten billion dollars in damage-the largest, most destructive cyberattack the world had ever seen.The hackers behind these attacks are quickly gaining a reputation as the most dangerous team of cyberwarriors in history: a group known as Sandworm. Working in service of Russia's military intelligence agency, their talents are matched by their willingness to launch broad, unrestrained attacks targeting government and the private sector, military and civilians alike.A chilling, globe-spanning detective story, Sandworm exposes the realities not just of Russia's global digital offensive, but of an era where warfare ceases to be waged on the battlefield. It reveals how the lines between digital and physical conflict, between wartime and peacetime, have begun to blur-with world-shaking implications.

Use serverless technologies to build applications that scale, more quickly and easily, and without worrying about deployment. Whether you're writing an API, a full-stack app, or real-time code, harness the power of serverless on Cloudflare's platform so you can focus on what you do best: delivering solutions. With hands-on instruction and code samples throughout, you'll go from building a simple API to analyzing images with AI. And, when it's time to launch, you'll learn how to deploy your applications and websites automatically, and how to optimize their performance for production. For decades, applications have been built and deployed in a similar way: you write code, provision a server, and upload your code. Over the years, you've graduated from FTP or SSH to Docker and Kubernetes, but fundamentally you've just switched from owning to renting; you're paying 24/7 for the server hosting your app. Serverless technologies change that model. With serverless, you focus on writing code, and not how it's deployed. You only pay for when your application code is executed, rather than paying for idle servers. In this book we'll use Cloudflare, which was built from the ground up to be a serverless platform, but the same concepts apply to every serverless provider. With this book, you'll learn a better way to build applications, and you'll see improved productivity and ease of deployment. From secrets to dependencies, such as databases and caches, Cloudflare has revolutionized how to build applications, and has made building applications easier and more fun. As you go through the book, you'll learn in detail what serverless is, how it functions behind the scenes, and how to build serverless applications on Cloudflare. When you finish this book, you'll understand how to think in terms of serverless functions, and you'll have the experience of deploying and extending these apps as you work through the examples. What You Need: Mac or PC GitHub account (free) Cloudflare account (free)
