of drones being used in previous attacks in the U.S. or Europe, but due to the proliferation of drone technol- ogy, we believe it will happen. Security directors and executive protection teams will have to take efforts to detect drone activity attempting to surveil their personnel and facilities. 4 Improved, More Targeted Ransomware While widespread ransomware attacks such as WannaCry and NotPetaya are creating a great deal of publicity, they have not generated much revenue for their authors. Indeed, despite infecting hundreds of thousands of computers across the globe, WannaCry only netted some $130,000. By comparison, highly, tailored ransomware attacks against the properly selected single target have proved to be far more lucrative. For example, South Korean web hosting company Nayana was hit with a spear phishing campaign using Erebus ransomware in June that led the company to pay $1 million to unlock the 153 servers impacted by the attack. The Canadian cybersecurity and digital foren- sics company Cytelligence paid $425,000 to attack- ers after its production databases and backups were encrypted following a spear-phishing attack that targeted six of the company's executives. Targeted attacks are also less likely to be pub- licized and therefore not as quickly remedied as we saw with WannaCry. A large- scale ransomware attack can attract everyone's attention within hours because of its pervasiveness. It might take weeks or months to detect ransomware behind more discre- tionary attacks. Criminals learn from the successes of other crimi- nals, and we should expect to see an increase in the number of targeted ransomware attacks due to the large quantity of money extorted from Nayana and Cytelligence. 5 The Use of HUMINT to Facilitate Cyber Attacks It is important to recognize that not all cyber threats are external. Indeed, some studies sug - gest that some 75 percent of cyber threats involve insiders. A substantial percentage of the attacks involving insiders are cases where the employee is unwitting, such as those involving phishing or social engineering. However, there is also a significant threat posed by knowing insiders. Cases in which an employee is recruited by a business competitor and takes intellectual property as they exit, have been well documented, but security managers also need to worry about internal actors who stay in place and serve as a persistent cyber threat. Whether recruited using money, sex or some other approach, the persistent insider threat can prove far more damaging than the loss suffered by a one-time data dump. As I often note to security directors during presentations on this topic, "if I run Anna Chapman at the guys in your IT department, I will own your system."
