tuxwise 🇺🇦<p>(8/N) For now, leave your spreadsheet of assets alone and turn to the second question of the <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/ThreatModelingManifesto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreatModelingManifesto</span></a>:</p><p><strong>2. What can go wrong?</strong></p><p>The answer usually includes a list of adversaries, so you can later consider which ones you stand a chance fighting, if you think it's worth it.</p><p>Again, this may be helpful for corporations, but not that much for individuals, since damage done to individuals can be much deeper, and last for much longer, even for life.</p><p>So, lets rather consider abstract categories of adversaries from a perspective of what their primary goals are, and what they usually do to achieve them. We don't bother with specific bad actors here, nor are we considering how to "help them" via psychotherapy, legislation, imprisonment or campaigning, at this point in time.</p><p>First, the list:</p><ul><li>🤷 You, and people like you</li><li>💰 <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Criminals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Criminals</span></a></li><li>☝️ <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Ideologues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ideologues</span></a></li><li>🫳 <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Intruders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Intruders</span></a></li><li>🦕 <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Business" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Business</span></a>(i)es</li><li>🏢 “<a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/They" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>They</span></a>”</li></ul><p>A few thoughts, on each category:</p><p><strong>🤷 You, and people like you</strong></p><p>You and others prefer to keep asset protection efforts to a minimum. You tend to take the integrity of your assets for granted, hoping that others will respect your boundaries, either out of respect for you or because of legal regulations and repercussions. Your attitude towards handling the assets of others is equally shortsighted and careless.</p><p>As a result, your digital assets stay exposed, and you're putting others at risk, too.</p><p>(to be continued)</p><p>Start of this thread:<br><a href="https://mastodon.de/@tuxwise/113503228291818865" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.de/@tuxwise/113503228</span><span class="invisible">291818865</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/ThreadModeling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreadModeling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/4D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4D</span></a></p>
