The Surge in Hacktivism

 

Hacktivism (politically motivated hacking) has gained momentum, with groups such as Anonymous carrying out cyberattacks in response to geopolitical events or social issues. These attacks often involve defacing websites, stealing data, or disrupting services to send a political message.

While hacktivist attacks may not always be financially motivated, they can still cause significant damage to organizations and stir controversy on the global stage.
