YES!

Publicly referring to stuff, which isn't an armed attack, as a 'hybrid attack' is akin to glamming up 'Chinese prepositioning in CNI' as 'Volt Typhoon'.

Obviously, for operational purposes, you internally categorise threats per risk/TTPs/etc.

But for public messaging, a threat to/attack on our polities must be called 'a threat to/attack on our polities'.

Tangentially, what does the Pentagon mean by 'Low-Intensity Conflict' re that particular ASD position?
