Welcome to Litsy!

It 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"

The historical parts were interesting and fun to try out (despite some typos) but the more modern (though since the book came out in 2002, not that modern) sections were more difficult to follow and could have done with more examples taken from real life to demonstrate how the theory is used.

Love the book stamp you can get put in your books in Libreria London

Scott Shapiro, Yale Professor: “Suppose, however, I want to send some of my writings to my friend at Stanford? (This is hypothetical, of course: I have no friends at Stanford)”.

First half is hard to put down.

I read this book for work, but it ended up as the best read of April on my personal list! A fascinating look at cybersecurity. #12Booksof2022

This was a very fast-paced book with twists and turns in every chapter. I couldn‘t put it down! The suspense kept you turning the pages to find out what surprise was next.

I received this book from the author for my honest review.

Cybercrime is not my favorite subject but I love Ms. Goddards books, and I‘m so glad I read this. It wasn‘t all computers and online shenanigans. There was plenty of real action, real suspense, real danger. And as always, Ms. Goddard‘s writing is wonderful. The scene in the woods, especially when they were trying to get away from the shooter, was pulse pounding. I‘m sad that the series is over, but hoping Ms. Goddard has a new one in the works!
