According to former GCHQ chief, the recently discovered VPNFilter botnet is the demonstration that Russia appears to be live-testing cyberattacks.
Former GCHQ chief Robert Hannigan has warned that the availability of hacking tools in the main marketplaces is rapidly changing the threat landscape. Hannigan served as the director of the UK intelligence agency between November 2014 until January 2017.
Threat actors have an easy access to attack tools even without having specific knowledge.
