Snare mission?

[chaosxxxxx]

So,i just got a 'prevent dark event' hack mission,with a whopping 17 days to infiltrate...
It's december 17,and never before i have seen a mission with so much infiltration time(the second highest i saw was probably 11-12 days).
Could it be a snare mission?
I ask because i think i read somewhere that snare missions require an advent strength of minimum 8,While the region has only 5 strength and 6 vigilance.
For your information,current global alert level is 'elevated'.

Dark Event missions have longer mission timers than normal missions, because the expiration time of the mission is also the 'research time' of the DE upgrade - when the mission expires, the DE will complete and become active, unless the mission is countered.

I thought that might be the answer.
Thank you...
