A.. The Nation State Actor has a 'Licence to Hack'. They work for a government to disrupt or compromise target governments, organisations or individuals to gain access to valuable data or intelligence, and can create incidents that have international significance.

gibson page 269... Some attackers are organized and sponsored by a nation state or government. An advanced persistent threat APT is a targeted attack against a network. ( this is basically how it starts in the book. Not much really there )
