HACKED: the inside story of America’s struggle to secure cyberspace by Charlie Mitchell

October 2nd, 2018 by Goshen Public Library Leave a reply »

The spectacular cyber attack on Sony Pictures & the costly hacks of Target, Home Depot, & databases containing sensitive data on millions of US federal workers have shocked the nation.  Despite a new urgency to address the growing threat,the hacks keep coming—each one more pernicious than the last—from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, the Middle East, and points unknown.  The continuing attacks raise a deeply disturbing question:  Is the issue simply beyond the reach of our government, political leaders, business leaders, & technology visionaries to resolve?

In Hacked: the inside story of America’s struggle to secure cyberspace, veteran cybersecurity journalist Charlie Mitchell reveals the innovative, occasionally brilliant, & too-often hapless government & industry responses to growing cybersecurity threats.  He examines the internal power strugglesin the federal government, the paralysis on Capital Hill, & the industry’s desperate effort to stay ahead of both the bad guys & the government.
