@UP8@mastodon.social @mekkaokereke There's an infosec example I love for this. Folks like to think "attacker" and "defender" are objective categories. But under any plausible objective definitions, in the case of ransomware, the defender is the party who has encrypted your data with a key you don't have, and when you try to get it back, you are the attacker.
Attacker and defender are moral roles defined by who should rightfully have control of data/access, not mechanical ones.
