 Further, we find a clear relation between market dynamics and exploitation at scale. Further, we find a clear relation between market dynamics and exploitation at scale.

 The figure above reports exploit package cost (left) and market activity (right) against presence of exploit at scale. Even by just looking at the descriptive statistics in the boxplot it is apparent that higher prices hinder odds of exploit adoption, and that the opposite is true for market activity. A more formal analysis of these aspects is provided in the [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.04866|paper]]. The figure above reports exploit package cost (left) and market activity (right) against presence of exploit at scale.

 The paper "[[https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2862299|The Work-Averse Cyber Attacker Model: Theory and Evidence From Two Million Attack Signatures]]" formally defines this attacker model by employing Stokey's Logic of Inaction, whereby an economic actor will decide to //do nothing// until a certain condition is reached. The paper "[[https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2862299|The Work-Averse Cyber Attacker Model: Theory and Evidence From Two Million Attack Signatures]]" formally defines this attacker model by employing Stokey's Logic of Inaction, whereby an economic actor will decide to //do nothing// until a certain condition is reached.
