From SANDWORM: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin's Most Dangerous Hackers, – In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of #cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses—from drug manufacturers to software developers to shipping companies. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze.
A copy of the book will be provided to each attendee!
