Het Virus – My first SF Cyberthriller published
Het Virus
22 September 2020 together with co-author I published my first SF Cyberthriller ‘Het Virus’ . It’s a compelling thriller in Dutch about a very dangerous computer virus which will threaten the world like a biological pandemic.
“Utrecht, 13 February 2034. A self-driving car is hacked and disrupted, resulting in a fatal crash. NATO, which oversees global internet security, realizes that the world is in danger when two more attacks occur shortly thereafter. Europol inspector Lara Hartman and communications officer Frank Willems start a feverish manhunt for the perpetrators behind this awesome form of cyber terror. Everything seems to indicate a particularly dangerous computer virus. A race against time ensues to find an antivirus that can stop evil …”

My New Book ‘Cyberdanger’ Is Released: June 2019
This book describes the key cybercrime threats facing individuals, businesses, and organizations in our online world. I first explain malware and its origins; I also describe the extensive underground economy and the various attacks that cybercriminals have developed, including malware, spam, and hacking; I also offer constructive advice on countermeasures for individuals and organizations; and I discuss the related topics of cyberespionage, cyberwarfare, hacktivism, and anti-malware organizations, and appropriate roles for the state and the media.
The book is important reading for all professionals engaged with securing information, people, and enterprises. It’s also a valuable introduction for the general reader who wants to learn about cybersecurity.
