I wasn't surprised to see Clifford Stoll's book Cuckoos Egg on the list.  
It reads like fast-paced thriller.  Stoll pioneered many of the first  
methods of tracking hackers.  So, it you say you don't have time to read,  
Stoll's book might convince you to make time.  ;)

I discovered Schneier's fine blog only recently.

Krebs' blog is another good one, thanks.  I remember seeing the name
attached to the book "Spam Nation".  In it he says.. "Not only are
hundreds of thousands ... exposing themselves to fraud  ... but even those
who never open junk messages are at risk."

His post "23 Apr 20, When in Doubt: Hang Up, Look Up, & Call Back" ..is an  
incredible story.   Phone number spoofing seems to be a popular tool for  
spammers.
