When writing about pretty much any kind of attacks, we tend to recognize that while people with certain skills were certainly involved, that is not their defining characteristic.
Would Ars Technica (npub15wh…e9hw) write a headline featuring "Russia-aligned driver groups"? 🤔
No, that would obviously sound ridiculous. "Russia-aligned mercenary groups" makes way more sense. Even though most of them likely can and do drive.
And yet over and over again: "Russia-aligned hackers". 🙄
