I know there are many readers of this blog who work in cyber security and government I.T. So, if there's one story you should read today, it's a magazine piece in the New York Times called "The Great Cyberheist."
It's a fascinating, well-paced and well-told tale of a cyber criminal mastermind, Albert Gonzalez (left), who looted and laundered millions of dollars from stolen credit card data. Oh, and p.s., he was also a paid Secret Service informant.
The story runs long but doesn't feel long. So read it now, on your lunch break or later at home. Here's the link.
