Finished listening to the She Said audiobook. It's astonishing. I listened to it as a direct result of watching the She Said film. That does an excellent job of summarising Weinstein's horrible behaviour. But it's just that, a summary. The book has much more detail. This is a must-read or listen. And things need to change to prevent other women from being harassed and abused by future Weinstein's.

We hear a lot about how state actors are using cybercrime techniques in order to influence opinion and attack infrastructure in other countries. But we rarely see a well-argued analysis that backs up this assertion. This book provides just such a well-argued analysis that outlines persuasively which organisations, and which country, was behind the devastating cyberattacks WannaCry, NotPetya, and others. And it outlines who is gaining malicious access to the control systems for the infrastructure that powers our modern world. Such as the electricity generation and supply systems, transport systems, communications and broadcast systems, and other industrial control systems. It also provides enough evidence to support the conclusion that the same, or closely associated, malicious actors were behind attempts to influence elections in Europe and the USA. Probably in other countries as well.

The case against the perpetrators, who are identified in the book, is built up logically and comprehensively. Everyone should read it and then draw their own conclusions. I know I have. One of the best books in 2019. Undoubtedly the best on cybersecurity.

I finished the audiobook edition of Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up written by Alexandra Potter and narrated/performed by Sally Phillips. It's not a genre I would usually read, but I'm glad I did as it's fantastic. Highly recommended. 5⭐️.
