   "A former FBI Special Agent and leading cyber-security expert   
   offers a devastating and essential look at the misinformation   
   campaigns, fake news, and electronic espionage operations that   
   have become the cutting edge of modern warfare-and how we can   
   protect ourselves and our country against them.   
      
   "Clint Watts electrified the nation when he testified in front   
   of the House Intelligence Committee regarding Russian   
   interference in the 2016 election. In Messing with the Enemy,   
   the cyber and homeland security expert introduces us to a   
   frightening world in which terrorists and cyber criminals don't   
   hack your computer, they hack your mind. Watts reveals how   
   these malefactors use your information and that of your friends   
   and family to work for them through social media, which they   
   use to map your social networks, scour your world affiliations,   
   and master your fears and preferences.   
      
   "Thanks to the schemes engineered by social media manipulators   
   using you and your information, business executives have   
   coughed up millions in fraudulent wire transfers, seemingly   
   good kids have joined the Islamic State, and staunch anti-   
   communist Reagan Republicans have cheered the Russian   
   government's hacking of a Democratic presidential candidate's   
   e-mails. Watts knows how they do it because he's mirrored their   
   methods to understand their intentions, combat their actions,   
   and coopt their efforts.   
      
   "Watts examines a particular social media platform-from Twitter   
   to internet Forums to Facebook to LinkedIn-and a specific bad   
   actor-from al Qaeda to the Islamic State to the Russian and   
   Syrian governments-to illuminate exactly how social media   
   tracking is used for nefarious purposes. He explains how he's   
   learned, through his successes and his failures, to engage with   
   hackers, terrorists, and even the Russians-and how these   
   interactions have generated methods of fighting back. Shocking,   
   funny, and eye-opening, Messing with the Enemy is a deeply   
   urgent guide for living safe and smart in a super-connected   
   world.
