Most commonly, outsider threats are spurred on by financial motivations. Alternatively, the culprit may be somebody, or a group of people, who considers themself "hacktivists". This is somebody who attacks a company to make a statement and promote a specific social or political agenda. Outsider threats are quite common and have the potential to cause significant damage to hospitals, government, and industries. This depends on the type of attack, the methods used, and motivators. For instance, if a business becomes the victim of a financially motivated attack, the hackers’ primary goal is to steal the money and move on. However, when dealing with cases of hacktivism, hackers may try to access sensitive data before purposely causing harm to a business’s reputation or operations. Therefore, depending on the business, what it does, and its existing cybersecurity system, some outsider threats may be more of a threat than others.
