Attribution is very difficult in this space. According to most articles I've read, senior officials believe it's Russia (and it makes sense given the scope/scale) but smoking guns are hard to find.
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoThe Russia attribution track record is not very good. E.g. that Afghanistan bounty story appears doubtful and many of the earlier allegations of ties between the Trump administration and Russia were not substantiated. Not that Russia is not a threat to the US, but there is a sizable part of the federal bureaucracy that wants to pin things on Russia for various reasons (it's not all anti-Trump either). Edit: Downvoters, feel free to prove me wrong.
