Russian Hacking Motivations and Outcomes (The Cyber Underground)
What are the Russians after? What’s their end-game?
Hackers have a wide range of motivations and desired outcomes when they attack. Their reasons can include hacktivisim, corporate espionage, state-sponsored attacks (like Russia, China, and North Korea), cyber crime (drugs, ransomeware, human trafficking), Search Engine Optimization (SEO – spamdexing), and the list goes on! What are the ethical and legal boundaries crossed for each of these attacks? How can we use this information to better defend our networks and people? How do we train the next generation of hackers to employ ethics in their reasoning when considering cyber activities? The host for this episode is Dave Stevens. The guest for this episode is Hal Corcoran.
