English term or phrase: Data-thugs
I've come across this term in the following context:

Threats to our network can quickly turn into threats to our workplace infrastructure. To combat against these threats, we must learn to practice safe computing habits. By mastering the techniques found in this course, participants will learn to develop a regime of security-conscience behavior that will help keep important data safe from hackers, data-thugs and cybercriminals.

Could you please help me with this term in Spanish?

Thank you in advance.

data-thugs
matones de los datos


Explanation:
Se está refiriendo a casos como el de James Heathers, que rebusca datos con apoyo de herramientas informáticas para exponer públicamente falsedades en publicaciones científicas y académicas. Lo digo porque otros usos del término, como el uso de datos privados para amenazar, quedaría mejor englobado en el término "ciberdelincuente" o "cibercriminal".
La traducción no es que sea genial precisamente, y seguramente a alguien se le ocurra algo mejor, pero estaes la idea: se trata de alguien que utiliza los datos como herramientas para comportarse como un matón, es decir, para amedrentar a otros, en este caso dentro de la comunidad científica, demostrando y exhibiendo sus deslices públicamente.
En este contexto lo entiende como una amenaza, y aseguran la privacidad de los datos.
