Summary of Peter Warmka's Confessions of a CIA Spy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was raised in a Catholic family, and I left home at 14 to enter St. Lawrence Seminary, which prepares young men for possible vocations into the priesthood. I left seminary studies, but my mission experiences left me with a strong desire to someday work in Latin America.

#2 The U. S. intelligence community does not typically collect information on commercial companies overseas, but many foreign intelligence services do target American companies. They are trying to steal technology by acquiring intellectual property.

#3 The industry with the greatest number of ongoing security breaches is healthcare. The information stolen can be used for malicious purposes. Regardless of the collection goals, state actors are primarily motivated by extreme loyalty to their country.

#4 The vast majority of security breaches are conducted by criminal groups. They will target entities through other tactics, such as ransomware, which will encrypt the victim’s data and hold it hostage in exchange for payment of the ransom.
