Uncovering the Silence: The Rarity of Western Cyber-Attacks.
Cybersecurity companies have long tracked elite cyber teams from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, but Western hacking teams and cyber-attacks are rarely heard of. However, a major hack in Russia has brought to light the possibility of Western hacking teams. The lack of transparency could stem from cybersecurity companies themselves, who fail to see Western hacks because they have no customers in rival countries. Additionally, Western nations tend to conduct their cyber operations in a more precise and strategic manner, contrasting with the more aggressive and broad attacks associated with nations like Iran and Russia.
