Just finished the book
Kingpin How One Hacker Took Over the Billion-Dollar Cybercrime Underground by Kevin Poulsen
The book follows the story of Max Vision who strayed between black hat to white hat (literally, founder of Whitehats.com and the arachNIDS Snort database) and then back to black hat. It is sort of a "True Crime" story for the Internet age. Lots of involvement of the Feds (FBI and Secret Service), cool involvement of CERT at the end, and the story crossed paths with lots of of other cyber crimes you might have heard of.
Not a lot of talk of Macs, except for these sentences that I found amusing (Iceman is Max Vision):
"Giannone finally took radical measures to try to keep Iceman out of his stuff: He bought and Apple. Iceman could penetrate just about anything. But Giannone was pretty sure he couldn't hack Macs."
