Why this is here

A41 of the exchange named “Carnegie Mellon’s CERT insider-threat research” as a source family for organizational cases of compromise, and A43, A44 and A47 returned to it. Ak named the research, not an edition; this is the current one. Bears on CLAIM-359 and CASE-108, as the documented cases a proposed study of internal compromise would draw on.
