                              The all Russian hacker group known as The Silence, has been reported expanding their geography; in recent months. The mostly young group has made its name by "standing on the shoulders of giants", and its profited well, garnering over 4.2 million as of this month. 

              The Silence started out by targeting Russian based organizations, then soon switched to former USSR countries. Just last year, they targeted organizations in 12 Asian countries. In January of this year, they also focused targets in Britain. The Silence is still active in Russia, as well as targeting the former USSR countries. Their most recent attacks were focused on banks in Chile, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, and Ghana. 


              Aside from the most recent attacks, the group is likely planning their next move, averaging about three months or so between attacks.
