This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends

Excellent read. Perlroth write for the layman to help her readers understand the seriousness of our cybersecurity problem.

A bit breathlessly sensational, a bit high on her own supply, having reminded us approximately 47 times that she writes for the NYT and HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE NYT SHE WRITES FOR IT, but overall just an amazingly thorough, clear, compelling whirlwind read through a complex and bewildering subject that most people will never know exists.

This is a cool, fast flying top-level view of the world of cyber weapons which surprisingly has tendrils everywhere. While I’m familiar with the stories told, I hadn’t thought about them in the interconnected manner that they truly are which is a good exercise for tech folks to consider.
