I find all of this absolutely hilarious. "this is not nation state because it is written in a shoddy way" is akin to "he does not look like a spy because he's too stupid." Get out. Attribution is almost impossible so don't even try.
"It's sometimes the height of wisdom to feign stupidity.” -Cato 149 B.C. (that's right, people knew about this simple trick before Jesus was born, you bet humanity has refined on it since)
- count 9y agoAttribution is not 'almost impossible', it just takes human intelligence sources, and not technology, to get an accurate attribution. And due to the nature of those sources, those who get the actual attribution won't disclose it.
