Summary
Cyber Wars gives you the dramatic inside stories of some of the world's biggest cyber attacks. These are the game-changing hacks that make organisations around the world tremble and leaders stop and consider just how safe they really are. Charles Arthur provides a gripping account of why each hack happened, what techniques were used, what the consequences were and how they could have been prevented.
Cyber attacks are some of the most frightening threats currently facing business leaders, and this book provides a deep insight into understanding how they work and how hackers think as well as giving invaluable advice on staying vigilant and avoiding the security mistakes and oversights that can lead to downfall. No organisation is safe, but by understanding the context within which we now live and what the hacks of the future might look like, you can minimise the threat.
In Cyber Wars, you will learn how hackers in a TK Maxx parking lot managed to steal 94m credit card details, costing the organization $1bn; how a 17-year-old leaked the data of 157,000 TalkTalk customers, causing a reputational disaster; how Mirai can infect companies' Internet of Things devices and let hackers control them; how a sophisticated malware attack on Sony caused corporate embarrassment and company-wide shut down; and how a phishing attack on Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta's email affected the outcome of the 2016 US election.

Excellent overview of interesting hacks
Easy to listen to, and suitable for technical and non technical, the book is well written and quite comprehensive on the hacks that are discussed. Each chapter ends with some good advice for all people using the Internet, not just those in Business.

Eye opener
I'm a tech startup founder and this book had made me take cyber security very seriously.
It's so important yet so neglected. A great listen and well narrated

Ok for those with 0 knowledge but avoid if techie
My review is slightly harsh. Coming from a technical background I found the information here not particularly interesting or already covered better elsewhere. If you are from a none technical background and in business however, this book could be pretty good as everything is laid out cleanly and easily with lessons to be learnt.

Topical and interesting
A narrator with a good voice and delivery was a bonus to these tales of computer hacking. Thoroughly enjoyed it and made me more aware of the dangers in cyberspace. Recommended for those with even a peripheral interest in this area.

Well researched and written
I rarely write reviews but I appreciated this book and wanted to recommend it to others. Written as a series of stories of different exploits it is a fascinating insight.
