Hacktivists are targeting Minnesota state municipal services. A relatively low cost and low risk way to make a statement with maximum impact (for the attacker). Cyber is not just a geopolitical tool, used when political tensions rise. It’s being used to make a statement when social tensions are heightened.

The cyber business model supports a ‘pick and mix’ of threats tailored for every occasion. From $30/ month for a phishing kit and $1,000 for a ransomware campaign. A DDoS campaign can be bought as a service for $100/ day. Hacktivists don’t need to be a hardened cyber hacker to disrupt a target. Although groups like Anonymous are.
