Entities involved in nanotechnology are targeted for several reasons:
Intellectual Property: Cutting-edge research and development in nanotechnology can be worth billions. Phishers aim to steal intellectual property to sell it or use it for competitive advantage. Financial Gain: Companies and research institutions often have substantial financial resources. Phishers may attempt to gain access to these funds through deceptive means. Disruption: Competitors or malicious entities may use phishing to disrupt ongoing research projects, delaying progress and causing financial loss.
