An organization discovers that its trade secrets are being sold to competing businesses. What type of threat actor is MOST likely behind this activity, aiming to gain a competitive edge through underhanded tactics?
Hacktivist
Nation-state
Organized crime
Unskilled attacker
A nation-state actor is typically motivated by political, military, or economic advantage on a national scale and may engage in espionage, but selling corporate secrets for a direct competitive advantage is less common. An unskilled attacker generally does not have the capability to carry out sophisticated breaches involving trade secrets. A hacktivist is generally motivated by political or social beliefs rather than financial gain. Organized crime, however, is primarily motivated by financial gain and is well-equipped to carry out such sophisticated attacks with the intent of selling stolen information for profit, making them the most likely threat actor in this scenario.
