Manmade threats question
Can someone please explain why the cissp makes a distiction betwee a manmade threat vs a politically motivated threat? Bombings are considered manmade threats but terrorist attacks are considered politically motivated threats. Why is there a distiction as far the "manmade" term is considered they are both carried out by men. Came across a question about this.

It just may be a tricky or poorly worded question or resource.
All of those would be considered to be Human Threats.
Threats are grouped into: Human, Natural, Technical, Physical, Environmental, and Operational.
I hope this helps.
On a serious note I would challenge the questions. If you could post them in this thread, I will dig a bit.
I think the man made disaster would be due to fault or incompetence of the human(s) whereas a hostile cyber or physical attack is deliberate. NIST SP 800-30 R1 may spell it out.
