"Sophisticated adversary" isn't a simple label to apply.

Are ransomware groups sophisticated? I think so. They've proven they can make money YoY despite sanctions, insurance clawbacks, evolution of controls.

Are state actors sophisticated? Sure. For different reasons. https://x.com/kwm/status/619154990041563136

Is it true that some victims of ransomware et al. fell short of their duty to protect? Sure.

Do some victims use terms like "sophisticated actor" to absolve themselves of responsibility/liability? Probably.

Are the actors behind these attacks sophisticated? Objectively, yes.
