Selected Answer: D
The threat actor described in the report, "ransomware-as-a-service," is associated with organized crime. Ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) is a type of cybercrime where criminal groups develop and distribute ransomware tools and infrastructure to other individuals or groups in exchange for a share of the profits. This allows script kiddies to conduct ransomware attacks, while the developers behind the RaaS schemes handle the technical aspects and receive a portion of the ransom payments as revenue.
