Wow， I really got pulled in to this。 The book follows many situations that relate to cybersecurity or lack there of。 It first starts with phones being hacked， which is ‘the ark’ being breached by a malicious NSO hackers targeting journalist and powerful figures。 This book is very relevant and current with the times and technology。 So， if you enjoy things like Darknet Diaries， this is definitely a read for you。 Some of the book could’ve been shortened。 I felt like this should be ending with three Wow， I really got pulled in to this。 The book follows many situations that relate to cybersecurity or lack there of。 It first starts with phones being hacked， which is ‘the ark’ being breached by a malicious NSO hackers targeting journalist and powerful figures。 This book is very relevant and current with the times and technology。 So， if you enjoy things like Darknet Diaries， this is definitely a read for you。 Some of the book could’ve been shortened。 I felt like this should be ending with three hours left。 The narrator is great， so I was able to push through。 Best of all， it opened my eyes to the hidden dangers in the backdoor of my phone。 Highly recommended read！ 。。。more

The Pegasus project led to one of the most important breaking stories of 2021。 The whole world learned about this malicious surveillance tool and how it was exploited by many supposedly democratic governments。 Nobody could feel safe anymore， as the following publications vividly have shown - among the victims were journalists， opposition politicians， activists and business people。 From this book you will find out how journalists learned about this and then found enough proof to expose the wrongd The Pegasus project led to one of the most important breaking stories of 2021。 The whole world learned about this malicious surveillance tool and how it was exploited by many supposedly democratic governments。 Nobody could feel safe anymore， as the following publications vividly have shown - among the victims were journalists， opposition politicians， activists and business people。 From this book you will find out how journalists learned about this and then found enough proof to expose the wrongdoers。 It is also a rare opportunity to understand how today’s investigative media works。 Long gone are the times when a few journalists from a single outlet could shake the world with the results of their work。 All the most important investigations are now done by international consortiums， usually led by small independent newsrooms or networks， like Forbidden Stories or Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project （OCCRP）。 Authors of this book generously share their modus operandi， describing in detail the ups and downs of being an independent investigative reporter。The book is very well written and also describes many background stories of the journalists from countries such as Azerbaijan， Hungary or Morocco。 I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in news and international affairs。Thanks to the publisher， Henry Holt and Company， and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book。 。。。more

Lost me at Rachel Maddow。 Nobody in the Milky Way， who is fair minded， believes a word she says。 Her association with a work of alleged nonfiction is enough to call the entire effort into question。
