London
The setting of the city of London is not the main concern here as the real setting is the darkness of the world wide web. Not just the Dark Web used by criminals, but the web used by companies, ,banks and people like you and me.
There are tales of Banking hacks, hacks easily carried out by asking just a few seemingly inane questions and it’s shockingly easy to trick your way into a company database if you know what you’re doing.
The websites we all use, the emails we all receive, the forums we chat on – just who is behind those aliases and identities?
With the various stories in the news recently about data leaks, hacking scandals and the safety of information we put on line…this thriller will scare you even more..
