Publisher’s Summary

Chaos and order clash in this riveting exploration of crime and punishment on the Internet.

Once considered a borderless and chaotic virtual landscape, the Internet is now home to the forces of international law and order. It’s not just computer hackers and cyber crooks who lurk in the dark corners of the Web - the cops are there, too. In The Internet Police, Ars Technica editor Nate Anderson takes readers on a behind-the-screens tour of landmark cybercrime cases, revealing how criminals continue to find digital and legal loopholes even as police hurry to cinch them closed.

From the Cleveland man whose “natural male enhancement” pill inadvertently protected the privacy of your e-mail to the Russian spam king who ended up in a Milwaukee jail to the Australian arrest that ultimately led to the breakup of the largest child pornography ring in the United States, Anderson draws on interviews, court documents, and law-enforcement reports to reconstruct accounts of how online policing actually works. Questions of online crime are as complex and interconnected as the Internet itself. With each episode in The Internet Police, Anderson shows the dark side of online spaces - but also how dystopian a fully “ordered” alternative would be.

I was privileged to read a pre-release edition of this book. My review is, of course, based on this edition, and the final work may vary from it.

Anderson does a great job of chronicling how criminals have begun using the internet, how the police followed them, and how the internet has changed as a result of both.

The book deals primarily with fraud, extortion, child porn, spam, and piracy. One of the most interesting tales from the book is of how voyeurs are able to gain control of a user’s computer and webcam, and often get pictures or video of the naked user and then use the material to extort further material from them. This is a novel, and frightening use of the internet, which I’d not heard of before.

Anderson tells the stories of many people through the book and their roles in online crime–whether criminal, victim, cop, judge, lawmaker, etc. As he tells the stories, he asks the question, “How can we maintain a police presence on the internet… Read

This review is from: The Internet Police: How Crime Went Online, and the Cops Followed (Hardcover)
The Internet has three features making it especially difficult to control in any centralized way: 1)Having relatively few gatekeepers (ISPs) means the Internet is not well-suited for centralized surveillance and law enforcement. 2)Attempts to control Internet content requires dealing with many countries and legal environments. 3)The Internet was built without any mean of validating identity; this is further complicated by the possibility of digital payments via anonymous services, and forwarding servers deliberately configured to mask the original source of a message.

Investigators learn something each time they shut down a site - unfortunately for them, so do the criminals. Police in multiple nations are often involved - especially in cases involving child pornography. Fortunately for investigators, child pornography is one of the few online activities condemned everywhere. The ‘bad news’ for some (eg. film pirates) is that once Internet providers
