Putin's Puppet - Paperback

by Jack Reeves (Author)

"You can't handle the truth... but you're going to have to face it."

Putin's Puppet is the explosive, unfiltered true tell-all story of Jasper "Jack" Reeves, a self-taught hacker and convicted federal felon who used falsified credentials to rise to the top of the nuclear engineering world. With nothing more than a high school diploma, Reeves learned electrical engineering and particle physics on his own, eventually being hired by Fortune 500 corporations to design the computerized control systems for eight nuclear reactors across the United States.

From selling weed out of Charlotte convenience stores using a police cruiser as a delivery vehicle, to sitting in high-level corporate boardrooms, Reeves lived double lives on both sides of the law. But his insider access revealed a terrifying, national security crisis: America's nuclear power facilities cannot be cyber-secured.

As the technology powering digital attack vectors advances exponentially under Moore's Law, the legacy control systems governing active nuclear reactors remain static, exposed, and vulnerable to catastrophic digital sabotage. When Reeves proved this vulnerability by hacking a reactor, a multi-million-dollar cover-up was triggered-complete with corporate mercenaries, extortion plots, forged affidavits, and suppression by high-ranking civil servants.

Connecting the dots between global political extortion, intelligence agency backchannels, and the shadow network of corporate power, Putin's Puppet exposes the dark underbelly of nuclear security, judicial corruption, and the lengths to which powerful institutions will go to bury the truth.
