"Now you see me" by Margeret Murphy

I think I got this book from the "Big Bad Wolf book sales". It was such a nice sales with the paperbacks going at as low as RM8 or RM5. I bought a lot. Due to the price, I even bought those that was not so famous, like this book. However, this book was very nice. I am glad that I bought this.
now you see me
This book is about computer hacking and revenge. A girl, Megan who was very good at computer stole from a businessman, Patrick Dolan by using her hacking skill. One thing I learnt from this is never use your own identification number or birthday or password as password. It is a stupid thing to do so.

The story started with a security firm boss talked to his tech guy about a security breach in his company. His network system has been hacked by a hacker and he was reluctant to call the police because he's worried that if the incidents got out, then people would lose faith in them. So, he wanted to catch the hacker.

Then, the story moved to a landlady who called the police to report about her tenant disappearance. Then, she was killed. Her tenant, Megan was the hacker who wanted to avenge her brother who was framed and left to rot in jail by the businessman who uses his business to rob people (his clients). He uses the clients information and broke into their houses to rob. However, one robbery went wrong and the girl's brother was charged with murder.

Then, Megan started to hack from another angle, his home. She befriended online with his wife and from there, got all the necessary details about Doran's wrongdoings and stole all the money. After that, she helped the police to get hold of Doran and on the way, pocketed a huge stolen money into her own account and vanished.

So nice, cannot stop reading.
