cnorbury's review
4.0
First 3/4 was interesting and informative. Illustrated many common hacks, social engineering tricks, and other ways to obtain information via computers (mostly illegally). Mitnick certainly knows his stuff and does a decent job explaining.
The last part of the book is mostly for business owners or executives who want a blueprint and actionable solutions to improving their company's security. I skimmed it because I'm a company of one and don't have to worry about anyone but me getting hacked. (I take basic precautions of course).
I do think the next Black Swan (after COVID knocked us all for a loop) will be a large-scale disruption of the electronic/financial system, which will bring the world economy to a dead stop (as opposed to the pandemic merely throttling it back by 50%).
