(17/N) Finally, two threat types that refer to security more than privacy:

#Obstructing

An adversary destroys, withdraws, steals or misappropriates information, access, or resources. The obstruction can be temporary or permanent, partial or total. Obstructing can also occur unintentionally, with the “adversary” being deterioration, malfunction, or disaster.

#Interfering

An adversary deliberately corrupts the integrity or authenticity of information, resources, processes, or interactions. The respective information, resources, processes, or interactions aren’t necessarily controlled or owned by the persons that are affected, and may also be fabricated. Interfering can also occur unintentionally, with the “adversary” being deterioration, malfunction, or disaster.

(14/N) Having familiarized ourselves with categories of adversaries, their main goals and their respective, overall "modus operandi", let's look at the types of threats posed by them.

Again, it pays to focus on types of threats: We don't want to become mainly alert-triggered, but proactive. There are several frameworks we can borrow ideas from, most notably the LINDDUN framework that is geared toward threats to privacy, and can be extended a bit to cover more ground.

First, our list of threat types:

Our definitions of these, for our context:

Linking

An adversary can figure out connections and relationships between formerly isolated items of interest.

Identifiying

An adversary can link items of interest directly to a natural person.

The case w/the potential to undermine charges against #Trump, spurred behind-the-scenes footwork by the justices, incl the mysterious reassignment of a majority opinion.

#FischervUnitedStates, posed the question: Had prosecutors overreached in charging some #Jan6 *rioters* under a #law originally aimed at white-collar crime? Of the ~1,500 people who had been indicted in the Capitol attack as of June, when Fischer was decided, ~250 cases included a charge of #obstructing an official proceeding.

2/ It also highlights examples of #denial from #representatives. “Of course the #climate is changing,” Sen. Ted #Cruz said in 2018. “The climate has been #changing from the dawn of time. The climate will change as long as we have a planet #earth.”

Just because #politicians say they believe in #climatechange doesn’t mean that they are not still #obstructing #climateaction or using climate #rhetoric.

After the #Jan6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, federal prosecutors charged >350 participants in #Trump’s #insurrectionist mob w/ #obstructing or impeding an official proceeding. The charge carries a 20-yr maximum penalty & is part of a #law enacted after the exposure of massive #fraud & shredding of documents during the collapse of the energy giant Enron.

#AileenCannon did not indicate when she would issue a formal ruling on #Trump’s bid to toss out the #evidence.

The #FBI agents who searched #MarALago in Aug 2022 found HUNDREDS of #ClassifiedDocuments strewn throughout Trump’s living area. Trump is charged w/ illegally hoarding #NationalSecrets after he left office & #obstructing the government’s efforts to retrieve them. [not that she cares about #NationalSecurity]

#Federal #prosecutors on Thurs accused #Trump’s #lawyers of trying to employ an arcane #law governing the use of #classified material to “intentionally derail” the timing of his trial on charges of mishandling #NationalSecurity documents & #obstructing efforts to retrieve them.

It is the #obstructing, #criminalization & #persecution of #MigrationEU under false pretenses of fighting (migrant) smuggling, and the criminalization of those who fight against these colonial borders that allow the very existence of this traffic.
