“Military and intelligence attacks are launched primarily to obtain secret and restricted information
from law enforcement or military and technological research sources.
Business attacks focus on illegally obtaining an organization’s confidential information.
Financial attacks are carried out to unlawfully obtain money or services.
Grudge attacks are attacks that are carried out to damage an organization or a person.”
