Wouldn’t it be in the best interests of state sponsored hacking teams to hide or blame other states?
Of course. If I were leading an offencive team at CSIS, I’d do my best to procure machines and credentials in anorher country to launch the campaign from. Ideally a known adversary. That doesn’t mean that country isn’t executing their own attacks. In fact my charade wouldn’t work if I chose a country that has no track record of attacks.
Dude this is notepad++, no one cares, we all know china Russia, employs multiple teams for hacking. But they still get caught and nothing happens, because they all will deny it.
This isn’t the chinese Uber team, that plans ahead several months, this is more: oh I found exploit in notepad++, via some tool. It isn’t worth the effort, because they are just looking for exploits in the wild.
