Abstract

Attacks on IT systems are deliberate acts with the determined aim of destroying, damaging or misusing a company’s IT systems. This type of risk is growing significantly in the last years. Today it must be assumed that the greatest dangers for IT systems no longer emanate from individuals, but rather from mafia-like structured, organised crime. Knowing categories of motives and attributes of actors can support the discovery, investigation and persecution of attacks and malicious activities. The categories make it easier to develop preventive and reactive policies and measures to mitigate the risks of computer crime.
