An update on the threat landscape

This thread was kicked off by discussion about ransomware hacking, though. I'm sure US intelligence agencies get up to all sorts of no good, and I'm sure our news is less likely to report on it, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent ransomware industry in the US (and the news has no reason to cover for petty hacking criminals in the US).

Actually I don't see a ton of news about national-security related hacking by Russia.

Oh, TFA is about nation states so I was talking about that.

Asymmetric commercial hacking is pretty easy to explain: hacking foreign entities is safer than hacking domestic ones in terms of risk exposure, and hacking entities in countries richer than yours is more attractive than the other way round.

How about non-nation states, such as the US?

Pedantry is seldom useful or interesting.
