‘The Long Game’ this weeks Cyber Insights from The National Cyber Skills Centre

By . December 20, 2018

They are not a hacktavist or a hacker, they are not the ones that are motivated by disruption or the advancing of a political, or ideological ideal. They are an old fashioned planner but with access to technology. They are calm, unassuming with a high level of technical skills. You can even have a sneaking respect for them.
