most regular hackers can attack personal
devices small and large networks or
companies but when nation state hackers
go to work entire countries get
paralized but how does that work what
can we learn about State hacker groups
and which of them are the most powerful
one of them is Russia a country whose
cyber warfare roots go back to the early
Cold War which sat on the edge of
developing its own rival to the internet
and which went to incredible lengths to
punch way above its economic weight
another major player in the world of
hacking is China and its history is very
different if Russian hackers roots go
back half a century China's a relative
newcomer to the scene they would strike
with some of the largest industrial
Espionage campaigns in history we
already mentioned how it got its hands
on the data of American Aerospace
manufacturers but that's just the tip of
the iceberg and we now come to a cyber
Army that needs no introduction in fact
it's not as much of a cyber Army as a
whole ecosystem of armies that all work
under one command some of the biggest
and most sophisticated cyber attacks
that have ever been conducted were
traced to the US intelligence agencies
