Description of The Cuckoo’s Egg by Cliff Stoll PDF

“The Cuckoo’s Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage” is an enlightening book for all the readers. Cliff Stoll is the author of this informative book. An astronomer by training and a computer expert by accident, Cliff Stoll has become a leading authority on computer security. An issue recognized everywhere as among the most important security problems of our times. He has given talks for the FBI, NSA, CIA and has appeared before the U.S. Senate. This novel was written in 1989, and until now the U.S. Government agencies handling our personal information were too ignorant and refused to implement cybersecurity measures.

Nowadays, the U.S. Government is doing better but with our Washington politicians on their “lower taxes no matter what” roll and underfunding all agencies, huge leaks are indicating flashpoints with our personal information. The author Stoll leads us down the frustrating path of the early days of cyber theft and how he ruthlessly chased the attackers. To sum it up, The Cuckoo’s Egg is a great computer and technology biography book.
