I was wondering why the new name for Cozy Bear was Midnight Blizzard. Here is the "new" Microsoft sanctioned naming convention.

NEW_THREAT_ACTOR_MEMBER_A: "Guys, let's find a cool name for the team."
NEW_THREAT_ACTOR_MEMBER_B: "Nah. Microsoft will do it for us."
Yes, my thought was unwelcome skin conditions: Dandruff, Athletes Foot etc. Should have the opposite effect.
Better than APTXYZ, but it’s still impossible to remember more than three of these.
