20.9 - Moderator's Pet - Sarah Ruth's Task: Can You Keep A Secret?

I tried to find something that tied into the months of the challenge (Dec-Feb) that also had to do with something personal for me. I work in IT, and for a while I worked exclusively in IT security.

This is a one-book task. Select one option and read a book that fits.
Required: Identify the option you have chosen when you post.

In January of 2018 two computer vulnerabilities were disclosed to the public, Spectre and Meltdown.

Option 1: Both of these vulnerabilities had to do with hackers being able to access the private information, or *secrets*, within your computer.

For this option, read a book that has the word "Secret" found intact in the TITLE. Subtitles are excluded.

Option 2: I often find myself lost in the wormhole that is Wikipedia looking for more and more information about a topic.

For this option: Read a book with the mpg of Technology, standalone or embedded.

Option 3: What's in a name?

For this option: Read a book written by a single author whose first and last name initials can be found in either SPECTRE or MELTDOWN. Letters may be used only as often as they appear in the target word.

Thanks! I am not a very creative person, so I did absolutely nothing to intentionally try and get a task... I am a bit obsessive about following rules, though, so I guess it figures I would get this one! Ha!

Glad you like it! And good to meet someone else in the field!

For Option 1, is the plural "secrets" allowed or must it match exactly?

Plural counts, so "Secrets" works.

Mod Note

"Intact" means that the string of letters must be found together. It may be within another word.
Secretariat: The Making of a Champion
Secretive Stranger
Mr. Churchill's Secretary

Thank you for that clarification! That is what I was thinking, but I didn't realize that is what was meant by intact. Guess I accidentally worded that correctly!
