Hacking, like many parts of our society today, has gone from an almost \u201chobbyist\u201d level to a massive global \u201cbusiness\u201d. 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\u2014there 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.
