Two Cyber Experts Explain.” In the video interview, Nicole explained the rapidly evolving hacking landscape and the threats hackers pose to companies. She highlighted recent changes in cybercrime, including the increased interconnectivity of cybercriminals and the trend of hackers researching the companies they target in depth. “It used to be that cyber criminals targeted money and credit cards, but today they target intellectual property or material non-public information.
