At this moment, there are basically three types of comments here.
- No mention of USA?
- This seems like needless redirection.
- Why tho?
Perhaps I’m hopelessly naive but I wonder if they all answer each other.
For business related reasons, Microsoft can’t call out threats of US origin. But obviously the researchers on the ground still care about those attacks very much.
One solution is to create an opaque reference scheme where Typhoon actually means China and Sandstorm actually means Iran.
Then you can sprinkle in new terms that aren’t explicitly defined anywhere. Something can be called Sunshine and, even though it’s not documented anywhere, everyone seems to know what it means.
