How teenage hackers hijack the internet

Teenage hackers are reaching into online systems that run governments, corporations, and everyday life. The face of cybercrime isn't always an awkward, tech genius, it's often teens working with friends to shut down networks and extort millions. Joe Tidy is the BBC's cyber correspondent, and for the past decade he's been tracking a new generation of young hackers. His new book explores that underground world, and what the rest of us can do to protect ourselves. It's called Ctrl + Alt + Chaos: How Teenage Hackers Hijack the Internet.
