Bad actors in cybersecurity are malicious individuals or groups with the intent to cause harm to a system or network. This includes cybercriminals, hacktivists, terrorists, and nation-state actors. These actors use a variety of techniques to attack systems, such as malware, phishing, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Such attacks can lead to data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage.
