Nicole Perlroth spent a decade as the lead cybersecurity reporter at The New York Times. Her investigations rooted out Russian hacks of nuclear plants, airports, elections, and petrochemical plants; North Korea’s cyberattack against Sony Pictures, Bangladesh banks and crypto exchanges; Iranian attacks on oil companies, banks and dams; and thousands of Chinese cyberattacks against American businesses, including leading the investigation of the months-long Chinese hack of The Times. Her outing of hacking divisions within China’s PLA compelled the first United States hacking charges against the Chinese military and earned her the prestigious “Best in Business Award” from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. She left the Times in 2021 to join the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity Advisory Committee. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling book “This Is How They Tell Me The World Ends,” about the global cyber arms race, which won the McKinsey and Financial Times’ 2021 “Business Book of the Year Award.” The book was optioned by Tommy Schlamme for FX Networks and several of her Times articles have been optioned for television.
