Our Committee Monthly Meeting was held this past Friday, and we had two engaging discussions about Hall of Fame-nominated books. We posted both reviews in 2025 (see the comments for links). 🧠 Kevin Magee presented his case for Sarah Armstrong-Smith's "Understand the Cyber Attacker Mindset." 🕵️♂️ Jeff Schiemann dug into Geoff White's "Lazarus Heist" What does the community think? If you've read either of these books, let us know what you think.
