Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

I'm tired of reading about "sophisticated actors" who just asked for and were given the admin password. Has anyone produced a classification scheme to rate threat actors *and* the tactics they used?
"Sure it was a Class 1 threat actor, but they just used a Class 4 attack vector".
Links welcome!
