Which type of threat actors are unskilled hackers who compromise systems by using scripts and tools developed by more skilled attackers?
Correct Answer:
Script Kiddies
Explanation:
Threat actor types vary by skill level and whether they create their own tooling or rely on others’ work. The description—unskilled hackers who use scripts and tools developed by more skilled attackers—fits script kiddies. They typically lack deep technical knowledge and run ready-made exploits, automation scripts, and publicly available toolkits to gain access. This makes their operations more opportunistic and often less sophisticated, in contrast to more advanced groups that develop custom tooling and execute targeted SAMPLEcampaigns for financial, political, or strategic objectives.
