"The number of actors targeting the United States is growing. Russia and China operate
globally, use all instruments of national power to target the United States, and have a broad range
of sophisticated intelligence capabilities. Other state adversaries such as Cuba, Iran, and North
Korea; non-state actors such as Lebanese Hizballah, ISIS, and al-Qa’ida; as well as, transnational
criminal organizations and __ideologically motivated entities such as hacktivists, leaktivists, and public disclosure organizations__, also pose significant threats."
