It's also likely it was done by an intelligence agency.

  Whilst I'm not an intelligence analyst, this seems like a pretty basic/untargeted attack for a nation state. It could be one, but it could just as easily be one of the many criminal gangs who used credential spraying to get access to accounts and then figure out what they can do with them afterwards.

  Not really. The attacker seemed to target bitcoin once again... surprising this shit is still profitable, though.

    > surprising this shit is still profitable If the cost of the attack is as near to zero as makes no odds, any income is profit, whether it comes from being able to compromise bitcoin related accounts elsewhere, getting a miner to run on 00s of servers and/or 000s of clients, or getting other details to use in a "send me bitcoint and I will/won't X" blackmail. And if there is no income from the attack, the cost of trying is near zero.
