It amuses me how the default hacker stereotype changed from an autistic nerd person (no offense) to a state-backed USA/Chinese/Korean/Israel/Russian APT group.

I can absolutely imagine people like crimew pwning sshd because it's fun! it's interesting! it's a way to get people to think more about open source community! just why not?
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoAbsolutely. The old "Dark Hoodie" stereotype is starting to get old. However, I know that some of the Russian/East European teams were/are composed of a bunch of nerdy types that are rather loosely associated with state sponsors. It's entirely possible that "Jia Tan" is a contractor that is hired to do the work, so even if we figured out who they were, we might never know who was pulling the puppet strings.
