- woodruffw 4y agoThis would be a pretty strange false flag: why bother blaming some random group that hasn’t been linked to the Russian government? To my mind, the most likely explanation here is the simplest one: airport websites make good testing targets, and Russia doesn’t punish hackers who target non-military resources in the West.
- Minor49er 4y agoI was speaking generally, but in this case it would be used to simply say "the Russians," regardless of whether or not they are under the Russian government. Even then, using your own example: imagine you are testing a malicious system that you built that is hitting a public testing target. Wouldn't you want to link it to anyone other than yourself for when it is inevitably detected?
