Moudy and Neil knock it out of the park with this all-too-relevant work. Having spent 27 years in the FBI, seated in the front row for many of the incidents described here, I found myself riveted to not only Moudy and Neil’s spot-on storytelling, but their after-the-fact remediation guidance. The timing of this book’s release is eerie, given the climate of cyber activity in 2021!
