    The document discusses motives behind cyberattacks and data breaches based on two global studies. The first study of large organizations that experienced cyberattacks found that the most common motives were ransom (41%), insider threats (27%), and political or ideological reasons (26%). The second study of almost 2,000 data breaches found the most frequent perpetrators were outsiders (60%), organized criminal groups (24%), and internal actors (20%). The most common patterns were crimeware or malware (25%) and hacking (21%), while financial gain (55%) and espionage (20%) topped the list for motives.
