This book is more like a podcast masked as an audiobook as it contains interviews and is quite short. Anyway, for those who don't know, Vastaamo was a private service provider offering psychotherapy services in Finland. Few years ago their whole patient database was leaked by a malicious actor who called themselves as “ransom_man”. The breach occurred due to the negligence of the company management. The rumours say that the patient database was accessible without a password in the public internet.
The amount of victims and crime reports received by the police is up to 33,000 so it is possibly the largest crime that has ever happened in Finland. This book reveals insights about the data breach and the aftermath. Persons interviewed include e.g. a psychotherapist, a police investigator and a well-known computer security expert Mikko Hyppönen.
The main suspect, ransom_man still hasn't been caught. Vastaamo wasn't able to continue their operations and the company went into administration.
