The "Russia" allegation sounds like an extremely weak & repetitive claim made by people on a certain political side to divert attention away from their bad press for criminal behavior (to include all of the Chinese compromises that were recently revealed).
They're playing a VERY dangerous game, as if they would rather the entire world be destroyed before facing the possibilities of justice (Gitmo, military court tribunals, and everything else that the EO from 9/18 outlined).
The bottom line: the MSM has been full of $&@T for quite some time, and this claim in Reuters is most likely more of the same.
- intern4tional 6y agoMicrosoft and Fireeye have both made similar claims and released substantial technical details. Attribution is hard, but those two companies have a solid reputation and do not make BS claims.
- goodluckchuck 6y agoI see where they claim it's a sophisticated / state-sponsored attack, but could you share where they attribute it to Russia in particular? If that's a political assessment made by the media that's one thing, but if these sourced have some sort of technical data that inherently links it to a particular nation... that's something I haven't seen.
- cinquemb 6y agoYeah, I think that every time someone/some org knee jerks "it was russia" without at least acknowledging there could be a variety of well funded actors interested in compromising the US Treasury [or any other target] for a variety of reasons and/or having the incentive to make it look like someone else could have done it, just pours more fuel on the attribution fire.
