Advanced persistent threats and stealth malware attacks have been making the rounds for years. Now, University of Michigan researchers Robert Axelrod and Rumen Iliev have created a mathematical model that, in essence, lays out the best time for nation-states to launch cyberattacks.

The two looked at four case studies.
