    The mad scientist who hunts hackers:Thirty years ago, Cliff Stoll publishedThe Cuckoo's Egg, a book about his cat-and-mouse game with a Soviet KGB-sponsored hacker. Today, the internet is a far darker place—and Stoll has become a cybersecurity icon. No one is more surprised at the book’s continued success than 69-year-old Stoll himself.(Wired)

    “You can see in the book almost everything you need to do in an incident. The mindset, the thoroughness, the commitment to it. It’s all there.”
