23:37Now PlayingHarry speaks with Professor Scott Shapiro about his new book, “Fancy Bear Goes Phishing: The Dark History of the Information Age, in Five Extraordinary Hacks.” Shapiro traces five famous and extraordinarily destructive hacks beginning with the Morris worm, an innocent invention shut the internet down in 1988. His accounts illustrate that not all hacks, or hackers, are born alike. Shapiro emphasizes the distinction between downcode events—the actual creation of codes and their likely inevitable vulnerability – and upcode events – roughly the laws, social norms and psychology that make hacking possible. Shapiro is whip-smart and hugely knowledgeable; and it’s a fascinating discussion about a problem that is not going away.
