"An increase of targeted cybercrime leads to organized gangs who are using more sophisticated methods. Attacks on computer security infrastructure used to be little more than indiscriminate acts of vandalism perpetrated by hackers who desired bragging rights more than anything. But the perpetrators of attacks and their motivations have changed. Security intelligence experts have detected the tell-tale signs of organized crime gangs and government espionage in attacks, and a hacker community much more motivated by financial gain than personal or political fulfillment. The resulting increase in attack sophistication means that companies must adopt a more vigilant and correspondingly sophisticated approach to defending their environments."
