Question:
Chris is investigating a recent breach of his company's web server. The attacker used sophisticated techniques and then defaced the website, leaving messages that were denouncing the company's public policies. He and his team are attempting to determine the type of actor who most likely committed the breach. Relied on the information provided, who was the MOST LIKELY threat actor?
A
Hacktivists.
explanation
The fact that the website is defaced in a manner related to the company’s public indicates that the attackers were most likely engaging in hacktivism to make a political or belief-based point. Scripts, nation-state actors, and organized crime don’t account for the statements adverse to the company’s policies, which is why hacktivism is the real cause.
