Kim Zetter Biography

Kim Zetter is an award-winning investigative reporter who has investigated cybersecurity and national security for more than a decade, most lately for the New York Times Magazine, Politico, Washington Post, Motherboard, and Yahoo News. Security professionals and her colleagues have named her one of the top 10 security journalists in the country. She has exposed NSA and FBI monitoring, nation-state cyber assaults, Russian disruption of Ukraine's power infrastructure, and use of the country as a proving ground for further attacks, the hacker underworld, and election security in several national stories. In 2007, she published a pioneering three-part story on the hacking and carding underground, which gave readers an inside glimpse into online criminal forums for the first time via the eyes of a grifter who operated a forum undercover for the FBI. She broke the story of Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning's arrest in 2010 for stealing millions of government documents and leaking them to Wikileaks. She's regarded as one of the foremost authorities on election hacking, and she wrote a cover article for the New York Times Magazine in 2018 on the election security problem. Zetter is also a professional on cyber warfare, having written Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon, which tells the true story of a covert operation carried out by US, Israeli, and Dutch intelligence to unveil an offensive cyberattack against Iran's nuclear program. Stuxnet's devastation, combined with economic penalties, is credited with bringing Iran to the bargaining table.
