A nation-state actor is typically motivated by political, military, or economic advantage on a national scale and may engage in espionage, but selling corporate secrets for a direct competitive advantage is less common. An unskilled attacker generally does not have the capability to carry out sophisticated breaches involving trade secrets. A hacktivist is generally motivated by political or social beliefs rather than financial gain. Organized crime, however, is primarily motivated by financial gain and is well-equipped to carry out such sophisticated attacks with the intent of selling stolen information for profit, making them the most likely threat actor in this scenario.
