Hello,

I received a copy of this newly published book for Christmas and I am about halfway thru it. It is a very interesting read so far with an incredible amount of information and it is highly referenced.

Has only else read or is currently reading this book?

I haven't read the book, but I did hear an interview with the author on NPR's (National Public Radio) Morning Addition program about the Sony hack. It sounds like an interesting book (the book is more about Stuxnet rather than the Sony hack).

She provides a link to the interview from her Twitter account:

(Edit: She's actually done quite a few interviews and also published in many newspapers and magazines regarding cyber-security and related topics.

Here's another interview, this one regarding the NY Times hack:
