Kyberkiristäjät
Kyberkiristäjät, also known as cyber-extortionists, are individuals or groups who use digital methods to extort money or other concessions from victims. This typically involves the threat of releasing sensitive data, disrupting critical services, or causing reputational damage. A common tactic employed by kyberkiristäjät is ransomware, where a victim's files or entire computer system are encrypted, and a ransom is demanded for the decryption key. Other methods can include distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, where the aim is to overwhelm a target's online presence, or the threat of leaking stolen personal or corporate information.
The motivations behind kyberkiristäjät's actions are primarily financial gain, although political or ideological motivations can also
