This is hopefully not foresight. The story is about a talented hacker who
plans on bringing havoc to the U.S. economy.
The hacker plans on wreaking havoc and double crossing his sponsor.
A family caught up in the situation supplies the pathos of
the story. Ken, a white hat organizer, is trying to help
Homeland Security find and defeat the hacker.
The tribulations of Omar a teen with medical issues and his sister
Leila humanize the story as well.
The Equifax hack settlement is currently playing out in the
news and certainly provides a realistic and terrifying backdrop for this plot.
The author points out a lot of vulnerability issues. I thought the one about back up drives was
very telling but the author never pursued that issue.
This is a scary book due to it’s plausibility.
I recommend it.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
