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.

TOPIC

Choose an APT or hacker group from the following resource lists:

· List of hacker groups

· Links to an external site.

·

· Advanced Persistent Threat Groups (APT Groups)

· Links to an external site.

·

(Your choice is not limited to the groups you find here.)

Your assignment is to create a presentation of approximately 5-7 minutes in length, and needs to address the following questions:

· Origins

· Where did they originate from?

· What are the demographics of the group?

· How long have they been operating for?

· Achievements or notable attacks

· What are the hacks or activities that made them notable?

· Who or what were their primary targets?

· What techniques are they known for and which tools do they typically use?

· Significance

· What has been the impact of their actions?

· Did the group affect history in any way?

· Are they actively changing our society or culture for better or worse?
