Cognitive Attack Taxonomy: Distortion, Alteration, and Confusion in Documented Operations

Synthesizes JTRIG deception taxonomy (Snowden leaks), Claverie C2 attack vectors, and psychological building-block models into a unified 12-type cognitive attack classification. Each type documented with examples from GCHQ, IRA troll farms, Cambridge Analytica, and PLA operations.
