The Hacker and the State: Cyber Attacks and the New Normal of Geopolitics

Quite interesting and informative

An excellent well written account of the major nation state cyber attacks over the past two decades, and how the tactics and ambitions are changing and growing. This is the kind of material that all cybersecurity professionals should know - as it adds context to today's threat, and there is much to be learned from the relatively short history of cyber espionage, cyber attacks and cyber disinformation.My only disappointment was that the conclusion did not quite carry the high impact finish and knockout summation I was hoping for, but I wonder if that's partly due to the sobering fact that so much more is yet to come in the next few years.Great book. Great insights. Scary prospects.

Very good

This book educated me, and made me pause for a lot of thoughts. Though an overview it is quite detailed and enabled me to gain a better perspective on who is doing what to whom and why, along with the political and economic implications.One estimate in the book is that Russia has 200,000 pieces of code in US critical infrastructure. Now think of all nations doing such things and it is possible to see how nations could change the nature of war by tapping some keystrokes. The book analyses several known/presumed state level attacks and how they developed.I enjoyed this book.
