In the past, these actors had different motivations, mode of operations, and targets, but the line between their campaigns has started to blur: Not only is an overlap in their targeting becoming apparent, but the distinction between their modes of operation is less clear. These campaigns come from many different angles: known advanced persistent threat (APT) actors, APT actors that were not publicly reported on before, and cyber mercenaries, hacktivists, and criminal actors who appear to have shifted from purely financial motives to geopolitical goals. Since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, the number of cyber campaigns against Ukraine and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries has increased significantly.
