Security firm CrowdStrike highlights the growing global threat of both state-sponsored and criminal hackers in a new report.
Security firm CrowdStrike says in a new report that the spread of more advanced hacker tools is helping to close the gap between cybercriminal and nation state attack capabilities. Some types of institutions might be facing off against more than one group, the report says. Hotel chains, in particular, have been a target both for identity thieves looking for lucrative targets and for state-sponsored actors wanting to spy on guests, reports CrowdStrike, which is perhaps best known for its work investigating a breach of the Democratic National Committee.
