ABOUT DIGITAL ASSASSINS Digital Assassins: Surviving Cyberterrorism and a Digital Assassination Attempt (March, 2023), was inspired by actual events and reflects the abuse of power and weaponization of private data by those who swore to protect it. It documents how taxpayer resources can be used against U.S. Citizens when they stand against corruption. ABOUT DIGITAL ASSASSINS II DIGITAL ASSASSINS II follows Danielle Spencer's attempts to use the judicial system to uphold the rule of law by shining a light on those individuals using federal government resources to digitally assassinate her. Using fictional characters and conversations, this story exposes the alliances made by federal judges, government executives and well-funded special interest groups to protect wrong doers. These alliances were made to ensure that corrupt and unethical people remain in positions of power in America's premier tax collection agency, ensuring that the tax code is not implemented fairly. Using concepts such sovereign immunity and national security, the government can use tactics such as privacy violations, illegal monitoring and surveillance, misuse of government records, and violation of trusted agreements with third-party institutions without fear of reprisal.
AUTHOR'S BACKGROUND
Danielle Spencer is a Washington, DC native. After high school, she attended the University of Maryland college system for both her undergraduate, BSMT and graduate, MIS and MBA studies. After obtaining her Master’s degree in Information Systems, Ms. Spencer began a career in the Information Technology (IT) field. Ms. Spencer is a senior business and organization leader, with a medical laboratory background, who has almost 25 years of demonstrated experience identifying and solving administrative, financial, acquisition, human resources, and operational challenges in the IT, contracting, and financial business fields. Despite having a love of reading, Ms. Spencer never aspired to be an author. Her experiences as a federal government whistleblower necessitated her making this career move. For years, Ms. Spencer served the Federal government with unwavering dedication. Her years of service were marked by competence, professionalism, and compliments on her work contributions. Ms. Spencer’s personal and professional life changed in 2016 after she began reporting behavior and actions that she believed were illegal, unethical and that violated government policy. Instead of addressing the behavior identified, in 2017, Ms. Spencer began experiencing acts that she categorizes as retaliatory by high-ranking government officials. However, it was her experiences in 2022, where she and her family experienced fabricated events and documents, that caused Ms. Spencer to make the conscious decision to document her whistleblower experiences in the book Digital Assassins: Surviving Cyberterrorism and a Digital Assassination Attempt. Ms. Spencer felt that it was necessary for her to document these events both to memorialize what she was experiencing and to shed light on how both technology and the legal system could be weaponized against US citizens.
The Digital Assassins book series, which is inspired by actual events, sheds a light on the shocking lengths to which unscrupulous entities condescend to preserve their ill-gotten position, power, and to punish anyone who shines a light on organizational corruption.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR DANIELLE SPENCER
What motivated you to write Digital Assassins after your whistleblower experience? There were two incidents in which fake documents were created: a fabricated traffic ticket and a title report containing false information. After these incidents, I became concerned that more falsified documents might be forthcoming. As a result, I decided to document my whistleblower experience in my books.
How did your background in IT influence your understanding of cyberterrorism?
