Time for threat actor modeling?

1) Who is "they"?
2) What is their "network"?

I suspect that "their network" is networks that they don't own, accessed 
with devices they don't understand.

Example 1: An expensive smartphone subsidized by their mobile provider, 
accessing wifi in a coffeeshop. Either they are utilizing the coffeeshop's 
wifi to avoid consuming their data plan, or the mobile operator is 
preferentially doing so as part of its own cost shifting effort.

Example 2: A laptop accessing wifi in a coffeeshop. They could use a VPN 
(many do), but they're not.
