For the first question, competitors can directly use the enterprise's machine - learning algorithm research for their own business advantage. Shadow IT is more about internal unauthorized IT use, brokers may sell information but not directly benefit as much as competitors, and criminal syndicates may use it for illegal activities but not as directly as competitors for business gain.

Intimidation, urgency are not typical technical attack vectors, and email is a medium which can be misused in phishing but not an attack vector on its own.
