MITRE ATLAS / External Harms

Adversaries abuse their access to a victim system and use its resources or capabilities to cause harm outside that system, including financial, reputational, societal, and user harm.

Think of it likeUsing someone else's delivery van, in their livery, to do damage across town.

In plain English

The compromised system becomes the instrument rather than the target. Its compute, its brand, and its trusted position get used against customers, partners, or the public.
