An insidious cyber-terrorist attack threatens to destroy the Western World in this debut by a leading expert on cybersecurity Over the Atlantic, an airliner's controls suddenly stop reacting. In Japan, an oil tanker runs aground when its navigational system fails. And in the Midwest, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl. At first, these computer failures seem unrelated. But Jeff Aiken, a former government analyst who saw the mistakes made before 9/11, fears that there may be a more serious attack coming. And he soon realizes that there isn't much time if he hopes to stop an international disaster. Zero Day presents a chilling what if scenario written in the vein of Richard A. Clarke and Daniel Suarez. Russinovich is a Technical Fellow in the Windows Division at Microsoft, which makes this book, although fiction, a little scary. 9780312612467 0.00
