About Tom Talleur
Tom Talleur spent 31 years as a federal agent. He founded NASA’s original computer crimes division—the first network cybercrime unit in the federal government’s Inspector General community, with full federal law enforcement authority to track and arrest hackers attacking NASA’s Internet, Digital Telephony, and Space Network Systems. He warned what this new kind of crime would become. Cassandra’s Code is his account of it. His follow-on book, Cassandra’s Cyberstein, prophesies what the novel technology crimes of the future will look like and the challenges humans will face. All of it, Tom tells us, is based on the cybercrime model we see today.
