  1. Hack Me if you can

Memoirs of a repentant cyberhacker

A brilliant and hyperactive child, Florent sees the computer as the accomplice of a lifetime. This machine which will grow at the same time as him will be his strength as much as his demon. Very quickly, he chose a pseudonym and quite naturally became one of the most tireless French hackers of the 21st century.

Data theft, wads of counterfeit notes, impostures and shopping trips to Place Vendôme, at 17, Florent could play the leading role in the film Catch Me If You Can. And when justice catches up with him, at the same time as reality, it is already too late: he is suspected of being at the head of a large international hacking network. This is the start of a dizzying fall.

At a time when digital technology represents both a freedom and a threat, this true thriller constitutes an essential testimony to a world that escapes us.

It is said today that, more than gold, more than oil, more than your goods, true wealth is the data you produce.
