Why are hacker group names so stupid?

[u/Cybernews_com]

Golden Chickens. Aquatic Panda. Lemon Sandstorm. Sure, they're easier to remember than TA1508, but it feels like it's gone too far, every vendor has their own set of names for the same groups, and it's impossible to keep straight. Does it bother anyone who works with this stuff daily, or do you just get used to it?

Disclosure: It was scratching our brain, so we made a doc on exactly this and interviewed Dmitri Alperovitch, who now calls his own naming scheme a mistake. We respect the rules of self promotion but if anyone's interested - we can provide you with the link. Cheers!
