Teaching case explores four state-sponsored cyber attacks, highlighting tactics and implications in cybersecurity education.
In April 2025, the Hellcat ransomware group unleashes a global cyber spree, stealing sensitive data and demanding baguettes as ransom from Schneider Electric. Three other attacks—on a parliament, a Ministry of Education, and a mobile manufacturer—hint at state sponsorship. This teaching case challenges students to unravel the mystery: Who’s behind these state-sponsored attackers? Using tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), students attribute each attack to Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran, exposing how faulty processes fuel cyber chaos.
