the Intelligence community has had "sources" longer than the computation
community has, and they distinguish "open" vs "covert"/"secret". The
terminological collision is inevitable. ("overt action" might be more
linguistically appropriate, if that's what they mean, but bureaucrats
aren't known for that.) Combining our meaning and theirs in the "Open
Source Media" movement is confusing, since they mean *both* meanings at
once, but that's alas natural evolution.

which suggests (as noted by

attacks are most popular queries ... which would seem to confirm a sig % of
traffic is adversarial.
