HACKERS, HOOLIGANS, HEISTS, & HISTORY
summary
A history of real incidents tied to measurable outcomes not platitudes: a worm that doubles infections every 8.5 seconds and hits 9% of hosts in 10 minutes, ten days of rain — a North Korean botnet that self‑destructs after 10 days to avoid forensics, a whaling campaign that leaves 80% of C‑level compromised for two years, industrial IP theft that costs $400M and another case that destroys $1B and 600 jobs, and the finding that only 25% preventive controls and 22% of SIEM rules actually work in production.
