Then why did the report attribute any of this to Russia without substantiating those claims? It's one thing to detail mitigations, it's another to call out Russia as the perpetrator without adding contextual value - the majority of the addresses involved aren't Russian.
- mundo 10y agoDid they really need to say, "We also have other data about the attack that we're not publishing because it's classified"? Isn't that kind of safe to assume?
- UnoriginalGuy 10y agoI don't think it is safe to assume at all. They laid this at Russia's feet almost immediately and before any investigation was conducted.
- ra1n85 10y agoWhen things like this are used as a pretext to sanction other countries, I will assume nothing and expect data. The bogus weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was enough to convince me that "just trust us" isn't sufficient data.

- mundo 10y agoFrom the downvotes, I guess the FBI doesn't typically keep information to itself, it just releases it on principle. How nice of them!
- dsp1234 10y agoThen why did the report attribute any of this to Russia without substantiating those claims? If my boss drops a request on me to write a report on the "technical details regarding the tools and infrastructure used by the X to do Y", I don't spend time in the report explaining that X did Y. That's not the point of the report I was asked to make. That's a different report.
