Today’s cybercriminals have new options that make their malicious efforts easier than ever. Cyberattacks can be purchased in several forms, including as-a-service packages and simple downloads to be installed in rogue servers. While these may not be the most cutting-edge techniques, they can be effective in infiltrating systems that have not been sufficiently patched. Chief information security officers (CISOs) must take precautions to close access gaps and patch all systems with current updates.
Cybercrime: A Proud Tradition
Many threat actors are social and take pride in their accomplishments. Some even perpetrate cybercrime purely for their own satisfaction, merely leaving “gotcha” messages instead of stealing valuable information.
