Cyber Shadow
For most, it's known as "the Cyber Cloud" or simply "the Cloud." It's somewhere never seen and presumably impenetrable. But it's really not a cloud, it's more like a shadow-your shadow. It's always connected to you and carries with it all your data, your secrets. And like your shadow, people can pass through it or they can linger in it, often unobserved. Your only real security is to sit in the dark casting no shadow, but who can live life that way? You, like the bank, the business, or the government are vulnerable and someone is out there exploring that vulnerability in your Cyber Shadow.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is home for some of the world's most brilliant scientists. A bridge game discussion about larcenous crooks always getting caught evolves into a challenge by physicist Dick Knapp, to design a theoretical experiment in larceny. His bridge partners accept the challenge and enter into a theoretical world of off-shore banking, money laundering, burner phones, and cyber hacking that they hardly knew existed. It fascinates and motivates them to design a seemingly foolproof plan that will avoid detection and make them rich. How far should they go? How far will they go? And will they remember that someone may be watching their moves in their Cyber Shadow? Someone like secret FBI agent Linda Cole?
