Threat Actor items

["Casey, Timothy P" <timothy.p.casey@intel.com>]

Here is a suggested re-wording of the “Contest” vocabulary item for Attack Resource Level for Threat Actor:

 

“A short-lived and perhaps anonymous interaction that concludes when an ad-hoc group of participants have achieved a single goal. For example, people who break into systems just for thrills or prestige may hold a contest to see who can break into a specific target first. It also includes announced "operations" to achieve a specific goal, such as the original "OpIsrael" call for volunteers to disrupt all Israel internet functions for a day. Minimum Sophistication level: ???.”

 

There were some changes suggested to Sophistication Level that will need to be reflected in the other Attack Resource Level descriptions.  This one was formerly “Operational,” indicating a moderate level of sophistication but little long-term planning or development capabilities.

 

If there are other items for updating please let me know.
