This is too original to have come from any webpage, or any textbook. I'd like your permission to use this the next time I'm covering these terms!!!

Why do you suppose the bad actors pound so hard on academia??? Are they attempting only to disrupt, only to steal, or something else?

Your comment is a fair one!

Thanks for your response Mark. In your example, you say that the poor soul who clicks the link in the email is the attack target. In your definition of "Attack Surface", you say that this is the avenue of the attack. Based on your example, does that imply that the poor soul is an attack surface?
