A GOOD SUMMER READ: Countdown to Zero Day, Kim Zetter
HACKING HISTORY: The
#CyberAttack coordinated by Israeli and U.S. government
#Hackers known as
#Stuxnet, which damaged the centrifuges at the
#Iranian nuclear facility in
#Natanz, is almost certainly the most well-known hack in history.
A REAL LIFE THRILLER: Because of its impact, its sophistication, and its sheer boldness, the attack captured the imagination not only of the
#CyberSecurity community, but the larger public as well.
Veteran journalist
#KimZetter tells the story of Stuxnet by treating the malware like a character to be profiled.
To achieve that, Zetter interviews virtually all the main investigators who found the malicious code, analyzed how it worked, and figured out what it did.
It’s a must read for anyone who works in the cyber field, but it also serves as a great introduction to the world of cybersecurity and
#CyberEspionage for regular folks.
