No Changes Observed in Hacktivists’ Capabilities or Intentions, US Spy Chief Says

On Tuesday, the US Director of National Intelligence presented a report called “Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community” before a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

The new report contains some interesting information, including details of what intelligence agencies think about terrorist organizations, hacktivists and cybercriminals.

According to the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, some terrorist organizations appear to be interested in developing offensive cyber capabilities. However, over the upcoming period, they will probably not do much because of the lack of resources, organizational limitations, and because they have other priorities.
