      But where do you have information that it was russian state? There are many state actors capable of doing this. Just saying

      Even Wikipedia, which is a shockingly bloodthirsty pro-NATO outlet, admits there is zero proof that a “Russian state actor” did this, there are just “western security experts” claiming it (as usual), and opinion is divided.

      Did you even read this or do you just vaguely remember a Wired article? I have been able to see through these obvious ploys since I was a teenager reading about cold war propaganda (okay that was like 5 years ago but still SMDH)

      Great sign for discussion that hacking is still being treated by Redditors as Russian, Chinese, and North Korean until proven otherwise. 🤕

          I wonder if there are any official US documents declaring an intent to hide cyberattacks under the flags of foreign nations? 🤭 Wouldn’t that be droll?

        Well, I don’t think that a “[insert your preferred state] state actor” would ever coming out saying “yes, we tried to to it”.

        Not to say that what Wikipedia say is false but on the other hand I am not sure how to check if it is true, in these cases.

          It’s literally just speculation. Even if it were true, what the fuck does that have to do with the nationality of a few Linux contributors? Have you people cracked?

            I agree.

            Even if it were true, what the fuck does that have to do with the nationality of a few Linux contributors?

            Probably nothing, I agree. But since there are sanctions against Russia I suppose they have not really any other choice.

            Is that sad ? Yes, but it is life.

              By keep it vague and saying their hands are tied they also get to dodge any kind of scutiny on what decisions they actually made before doing this.
