00:00.270 --> 00:05.820
Go to now talk about the current threat landscape this is another way of saying what are the nasty things

00:05.820 --> 00:09.980
that are out there that we should be caring about concerning ourself about.

00:10.080 --> 00:13.610
First the hacker cracker or cyber criminal.

00:13.910 --> 00:19.620
Well you can see behind you is an active I.R.S. channel where everything from credit cards to malware

00:20.130 --> 00:23.100
viruses hacking is a service is sold.

00:23.100 --> 00:28.320
I'll see if you know where it is the power of the Internet not the web but it can be accessed via something

00:28.320 --> 00:30.180
called an IOC client.

00:30.390 --> 00:35.910
Hacker actually originally was a positive term used to describe someone who kept hacking problem until

00:35.910 --> 00:36.720
it was done.

00:36.900 --> 00:44.530
But today Conan's Downing is really someone who's out to cause mischief on the Internet or on your computer.

00:44.550 --> 00:47.580
So that's the way we use it.

00:47.580 --> 00:52.980
There are people that call themselves white hackers meaning they are hacking.

00:52.980 --> 00:59.940
For good example being the work I've done where you are paid to attempt to compromise a target such

00:59.940 --> 01:05.510
as a company and this in the security industry is called ethical hacking or penetration testing.

01:05.640 --> 01:13.050
But what we care about is the black hacker or really you can just simply call them cyber criminals.

01:13.050 --> 01:18.770
They are no longer teenage boys in their mothers basement hacking for fun and recognition.

01:18.840 --> 01:24.140
They are criminals attempting to make money out of you and other people.

01:24.140 --> 01:31.890
You have hacking groups or criminal organizations that range in size from large small.

01:31.890 --> 01:38.880
You have loosely connected hacking groups who convalesce in areas of the dark web and don't really have

01:38.880 --> 01:46.300
strong connections but only connections via the web or some sort of common moral or political agenda.

01:46.320 --> 01:52.890
And you have the lone wolf hacker the seals of these people these hackers very massively The vast majority

01:52.890 --> 01:59.900
of hackers have little skills and or refer to his script kiddies because all they can do is going to

01:59.920 --> 02:01.960
script that someone else has written.

02:02.140 --> 02:08.700
And I guess maybe 95 percent are script kiddies but you should still not underestimate them.

02:08.700 --> 02:15.340
The other five percent are skilled and more dangerous today the skilled hackers sell their tools to

02:15.340 --> 02:16.440
the script kiddies.

02:16.440 --> 02:18.710
And you even have an underground market sell in.

02:18.780 --> 02:23.510
Hacking is a service which is why the script kiddies can be just as dangerous.

02:23.520 --> 02:26.490
You can rent time on a hacking platform.

02:26.490 --> 02:31.960
If these people spend as much time on legitimate businesses then they would probably do very well.
