In addition to the Symantec Elderwood Report and the Symantec Hidden Lynx report (search for “white paper”), find 1-2 reports (dated 2014 or later) about targeted (and likely state sponsored) attacks and paint a picture in 250-500 words of the state of cyber security when it comes to such targeted attacks?

Security:

Since November 2011, hundreds of organizations worldwide have been targeted by the Hidden Lynx group. These organizations have

remained relatively consistent during this time period. The group targets organizations operating in both the commercial sector and within all

levels of government. The diverse set of targets from a variety of sectors would indicate that this group is not focused on any one specific task. The

group manages concurrent campaigns in attacks that are global in nature  The Hidden Lynx group has most recently conducted attacks against

specific organizations in South Korea and has a long history of attacking the defense industrial sector of Western

countries.
