In previous lectures we discussed what a global cyber threat is as well as who is a cyber criminal. However, these a simply definitions and explanations of WHAT they are, not WHO they are. For this assignment, the goal is for you to dive into the mind of a cybercriminal, exploring their potential motivations and backgrounds.
For this assignment, prepare a short paper that is 2-3 pages double spaced with a professional cover page and bibliography (cover page and bibliography do not count towards the page limit). In this paper, treat it as a short report or briefing to senior leadership within your organization. Outline who these potential threat actors are and why it is important for us to understand them. Provide a brief detail of what constitutes a cybercriminal (the what), but be sure to focus more on the “who” aspect.
Utilize at least 3 professional references (wikipedia does not count) such as academic journal articles, news reports, government websites, consulting firm white papers etc. to help you build this profile and support your work.
