Hacker Group Presentation
Hacking, like many parts of our society today, has gone from an almost “hobbyist” level to a massive global “business”. At the top of the pile are threat actors with a high level of skill and vast resources.
These threat actors come in a variety of guises—there are APT groups, CaaS (Cybercrime-as-a-Service) groups, and hacktivists. Some of these groups have stood out by their actions, their longevity, their methods, or a combination of all three.
This is an individual assignment.
PRESENTATION
For this project, you will select one of these groups to research and then prepare a presentation on your findings. The presentation needs to be 5-7 minutes and should contain slides.
