I see your point, Leonora, but I still think it's a technique because it's a specific procedure used in a particular situation.

Hah, I bet the attacker spent more time on their 'extensive research' than their victim did on cybersecurity training! This is clearly a Tactic - the overall approach to compromising the target.

No, it's not a Policy. It's more about the attacker's strategy rather than a set of rules or guidelines.
