As an aside, can anyone comment on how we can estimate the source of a cyber attack with any confidence? People and groups say "oh we know it's russians because of the methods used, they're known methods by russian groups". But if these methods are so clearly indicators of a certain group or certain national origin, then wouldn't it be effortless to then mimic those same methods to make it appear it's those groups when it's not?
It feels like if you had a battleship with a Russian flag and it fired on a US ship and ran way and wasn't caught, it'd be silly to be like "oh it's definitely the Russians 100%" because of the flag when it could have been a literal false flag. And there is a ton of political motivation to do false flags these days.
