Keyboard Warriors: Rise of the Cyber Mercenaries in Today’s Digital Battlefield

In a world where cybercrime is evolving faster than anti-virus updates, the rise of “cyber mercenaries” calls for stricter regulation. We’re not just talking about a swanky new cyberpunk band. These digital rogues, like the Lazarus group and NSO, are wreaking havoc sans HR headaches. It’s high time we align intelligence and human rights obligations to curb this high-tech villainy.

Hot Take:

Oh, the times we live in! Cyber bad guys are now being rebranded as "cyber mercenaries" and our favorite cyber villain, the Lazarus group, has made it to the top of the list. And NSO Group, ah, the infamous Pegasus creators, they've got their name on the list too. Not to be outdone, more of these so-called mercenaries are popping up, because hey, who wouldn't want to be a cyber ninja without having to deal with HR or payroll? We're living in a world where villains are outsourcing their villainy!
