    Just a quick note for anyone using or doing this specific activity, there are errors that I have reported that you should be aware of. For two of the scenarios I was given for the section 2.1.7 Activity: "Threat Model Analysis", the answers that I initially selected and should have been correct, were instead marked as incorrect. I had to select other options until I was able to get what it incorrectly thought was right before I could move to the next question. It clearly stated in the feedback for each that my initial answer was actually true, so there is a mismatch happening somewhere in the program. As it can take a bit of time for these things to get addressed, just consider that before blindly accepting the outputs are true.

    If I might ask, when did you report that? What date? I had also reported a couple of issues, and I'm tracking how long it's taken for Dev to respond and make the changes.
     
    Got a response earlier today. "The issue has already been reported to our content team and is expected to be resolved in an upcoming course patch." It doesn't say when that will be, but at least it has been acknowledged. I had thought that a notice or just disabling it in the meantime might be nice to anyone currently enrolled in something like an activity with significant issues, since they could be learning incorrect information, but if it is to be a quick fix then I suppose that will have to do.
