pickIt took me 11 months, but I finally finished this! Really great book about cybersecurity: accessible to non-specialists while including lots of detail. Shapiro writes in a highly informative yet slightly sardonic voice that I enjoyed.
"Project Shield was established to protect dissidents against repressive governments. Brian Krebs, however, needed protection from three teenagers."
"The internet tidal wave would be followed by a hacking tsunami"
panAn in depth, pre-Snowden journalistic investigation into the world of whistleblowers and data leakers.
This was a tough read to get into. Interesting, but dry and dense. Every chapter is also an interweaving of multiple people‘s stories. Pair all that with intentional misgendering and deadnaming of Chelsea Manning and glossing over Julian Assange‘s sexual assault allegations, this is not a book I need to keep or revisit. 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

pickI have to give a presentation on cybersecurity this week and decided to re-listen to this audiobook. I absolutely love this book about a woman making a career in the early days of ethical hacking and penetration testing.

pickOld school spycraft meets cutting edge technology in this engrossing thriller by the author of the graphic novel Suicide Blonde. Brigitte, known as Bridge, is a hacker turned MI6 operative recovering from a traumatic experience in the field. When she stumbles upon a series of mysterious ASCII messages on an obscure French message board, she becomes embroiled in an unexpectedly dangerous international investigation. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
