De: Congressional Reasearch Service

Narrado por: Tom Brooks

Many members of Congress have raised concerns over the frequency, types, and impacts of cyber incidents during hearings, speeches, and in legislation. Cyber incidents affect nearly every national entity, from federal and state government agencies to private companies and individuals. One course of action to stymie attacks has been to investigate who the adversaries are that conduct cyberattacks, what types of activities they conduct online, and how the US government can identify them.

To assist with Congress’s understanding of cyberattacks, this report describes attribution in cyberspace, confidence of attribution, and common types of cyberattack. Listed in this report are two categories of cyberattacks by foreign adversaries against entities in the United States: 23 cyberattack campaigns that the federal government has attributed to actors operating on behalf of other nation-states, and 30 cyberattacks the government has attributed to criminal actors seeking personal gain.
