Threat Actor | noun
A threat actor, also commonly referred to as a threat group, adversary, or hacking team, is a human entity that is behind the execution of actions with malicious intent. It could be a single person, a private company, or part of a government entity. The cybersecurity industry comes up with some pretty crazy naming conventions, and there are very little standards.
