Domain-specific

• Cyberattack
  • RFC 4949's Internet-security vocabulary distinguishes attack, threat action, incident, and related concepts, illustrating why precise role separation matters.
• Plaintext
  • Conversely, plaintext may require protection in memory, logs, backups, or interfaces, but those handling concerns do not alter its formal input-output identity.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
