You know it's coming: a frozen computer, an office filled with blank screens, a printed message. The clock is ticking. Your colleagues have hours to strike a deal.
Cybercrime is everywhere. From governments to airlines, hospitals to banks, institutions of every kind have paid out millions to hackers. Now a multibillion-dollar industry, ransomware is recognised as a serious threat to global security, yet remains a slippery and little understood phenomenon.
From a leading expert in illicit trading, We Know You Can Pay a Million spotlights the criminal underworld where organised groups trade stolen information and cryptocurrencies, and reveals the fascinating histories of the superhackers whose activities have potentially catastrophic implications for us all.
Anja Shortland is Professor of Political Economy at King's College London, and a world expert in the economics of crime, particularly on art theft, fraud, hostage and ransom negotiations. We Know You Can Pay a Million is her first trade book. Her books for an academic readership include Kidnap. She lives in Wiltshire.
