LockBit claims to be behind KNVB hack and to have stolen 305GB of data – Computer – News


I actually do not get what you are attempting to say in any respect, however…

There are, fairly merely, a number of various kinds of digital criminals.

1) State actors: employed by a authorities to infiltrate one other nation or shut down sure infrastructure, see e.g. Russia vs. Ukraine and North Korea vs. something that’s not North Korea.

2) Terrorists: teams which might be out to close down important infrastructure or public life or truly trigger victims. Take into account, for instance, the air pollution of ingesting water, the paralysis of air visitors or the demolition of energy vegetation

3) Idealistic teams are out to induce one other celebration to do one thing totally different than earlier than. Take into account, for instance, environmental actions that paralyze massive (polluting) corporations, harm the banking system, or steal from the wealthy and distribute it to the poor (as they themselves declare).

4) Actors who do it purely for the cash, e.g. teams that use RaaS options (buy ransomware, earn cash with it and in addition ship what they promise ‘neatly’ as a result of in any other case they actually will not pay extra subsequent time Typically, however not completely, you see that in addition they use sure codes of conduct: don’t assault hospitals, for instance. Lately within the information. A type of teams, Conti I imagine, had ‘by chance’ paralyzed a hospital, however then the cash duly refunded and, of all issues, apologised.

5) Script kiddies who also can purchase a ransomware package and infrequently function alone. They do it for the respect and glory and nothing extra

After which I in all probability skip 1 or 2 extra. It is not that sophisticated. Persons are herd animals, they do not simply give you one thing. Even those that do one thing out of ‘personal motivation’ fall inside one among these teams. Cybercrime can also be ‘simply’ a career. Not an honorable career, however it’s a career in itself. You possibly can earn good cash in it, it is fairly easy, it is worldwide – sooner or later you are doing a job in America, the following day you are doing a job in Cambodia and the following day you are busy with Belgium. That makes it tougher than, for instance, a traditional burglar, you’ve gotten 0 journey time and you do not have to be match or versatile to sneak in someplace.
