Doesn't seem like it'd be a nation-state. They usually try to stay quiet and out of the news so they wouldn't disrupt services.
Might be some ransomware operators or malicious parties trying to extort them.

I agree that that sounds like a goal such an actor would have, but one would assume that they can also occasionally butterfinger something? I'm not saying that it was an APT, what I'm saying is that we can't conclude that it wasn't from the fact that the network went down.

- edm0nd 5y agoIn the case of Ukraine/Russia, they certainly set out with the goal of disruption. Hate em or like em, there is no denying that Russia has some awesome cyber capabilities.
