The author focused on the damage caused to, and effort to recover from, the hack on the Maersk shipping company.
The whole thing read like an action movie and went to expose just how vulnerable the world’s networked computers are. I found this to be a fantastic read. It was also very, very scary. This is not fiction, this happened and can easily happen again.
On the positive side, you can bet that these vulnerabilities are being addressed. But it all came about because of apathy - since nothing has happened in the past there was no reason to prepare for the future. Something we are all guilty of, really.
