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.

"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
