β¦ Synopsis
Itβs two years post-Zero Day, and former government analyst Jeff Aiken is reaping the rewards for crippling al-Qaidaβs attack on the computer infrastructure of the Western world. His cyber - security company is flourishing, and his relationship with Daryl Haugen intensifies when she becomes a part of his team. But the West is under the Eastβs greatest threat yet. The Stuxnet virus that successfully subverted Iranβs nuclear defense program for years is being rapidly identified and defeated, and Stuxnetβs creators are stressed to develop a successor. As Jeff and Daryl struggle to stay together, theyβre summoned to disarm the attack of a revolutionary, invisible trojan that alters data without leaving a trace. As the trojan penetrates Western intelligence, the terrifying truth about Iran is revealed, and Jeff and Daryl find themselves running a desperate race against time to reverse it - while the fate of both East and West hangs in the balance. Like Zero Day, Trojan Horse is a thrilling suspense story, a sober warning from one of the worldβs leading experts on cyber-security, Microsoftβs Technology Fellow, Mark Russinovich. Trojan Horse demystifies the dangerously realistic threat of a cyber-terrorism attack on the Western world, while chronicling the lengths through which one man and will go to stop it.
