@Patrick/ISightPartners or @EclecticIQ:  Can you provide reference?

All,

Intrusion Sets and Threat Actors both use the Attack Motivations vocabulary.  Right now we have the following terms in that vocab:

1. accidental
2. coercion
3. dominance
4. ideology
5. notoriety
6. organizational-gain
7. personal-gain
8. personal-satisfaction
9. revenge
10. unpredictable

I propose that we add the following thee terms to this list, I missed them when I was putting this list together.  

1. amusement
2. advantage (competitive, political, economic)
3. anarchy

Thanks,

Bret
