  1. (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.

  2. (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.

  3. @tiffanycli the *concept* of hashtags are good, the execution is bad. I’d much rather add structured tags to posts to organize them (and help others find and subscribe to topics) but not have them #inyourface #interfering with #readability
