Can someone help me understand why this is a good thing? By the arguments presented by other commenters, it seems to me that a) these hallmarks can be duplicated by someone else and b) by only running operations with said hallmarks, the intelligence agencies might miss other vulnerabilities.
- jowsie 6y agoIt's good because they can choose to omit the hallmarks if they wish to hinder attribution, or they can take on the hallmarks of an enemy nation state to point the finger elsewhere/create false flags.
- jessaustin 6y agoIf "they" can include or omit "hallmarks", so can any other "nation state" operatives. In other words, this whole idea is complete bullshit, as it seemed to be when I first read it?
