North Korea and Russia are always fingered as the source of any hacking/malware activity that hits the news, regardless of actual proof.
The entire Sony hack attribution to North Korea was already shady, at best.
Saying a nation-state actor hacked you makes it look a lot less worse than "some disgruntled ex-employee" or a 20-something year old student.
I'm not saying this attribution is incorrect, but it's very hard to separate the wheat from the chaff with these kind of news articles, even from sources I'd normally consider reputable.
