Hacker Havoc: Desperation or Deception? Unraveling the Mystery of Cybercrime Re-Victimization
Threat actors in cyber extortion are like desperate exes—recycling their old targets hoping for a payout. Are they boldly dirty or just plain desperate? Our latest data hints at a cyber soap opera worth streaming. Stay tuned.
Hot Take:
Re-victimization: the unwelcome sequel in the cybercrime saga. It appears threat actors have taken to recycling, but instead of plastics, they're reusing victims like a toddler insists on watching the same cartoon for the 100th time. Sometimes it's a crossover episode with an affiliate playing musical chairs with data, or maybe it's just a desperate attempt to squeeze more bitcoins out of a previously tapped victim. Either way, it's about as ethical as a pickpocket returning to the scene of the crime for the victim's matching shoes—after already swiping their wallet.Already a member? Log in here
