💥And as a bonus, many may not be aware that 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙤𝙤'𝙨 𝙀𝙜𝙜 contains an interesting perspective on the Morris Worm. A year after astronomer Cliff Stoll's spy tracking journey, he was one of many admins around the country who were investigating the Morris Worm live as it was spreading...

No jump scares. Just power grids going dark, global companies paralyzed, and governments scrambling in the shadows.

At #CyberCanon, we honor books that reveal how close the digital and physical worlds really are and how fragile our sense of safety can be when the next exploit lurks unseen.

Why this matters during #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth:
1. In a hyperconnected world, vulnerability is the shadow companion of innovation.
2. Technology alone cannot defend. The human factor is equally critical.
3. Stories stick longer than dry technical specs.
