Re: [cti] Attack Motivations
This Taxonomy did come from an existing well vetted solution. aka the Intel Threat Agent work.  But given that work applies to general threat actors, we are trying I tailor it more specifically to the cyber space.

The reason I am looking to add a few values is I have been reviewing every taxonomy I can find and make sure our terms and definitions cover everything that cerebrally exists.

All,

Intrusion Sets and Threat Actors both use the Attack Motivations vocabulary.  Right now we have the following terms in that vocab:

accidental

coercion

dominance

ideology

notoriety

organizational-gain

personal-gain

personal-satisfaction

revenge

unpredictable

I propose that we add the following thee terms to this list, I missed them when I was putting this list together.  

amusement

advantage (competitive, political, economic)

anarchy

Thanks,

Bret
