> targeted with government-exclusive spyware.

Honestly, who can even say that? What makes something "government exclusive"? These types of comments are a legitimacy stink to me. What type of narrative are these people selling?

Reminds me of the "proof" the DNC was hacked by the Russian government was because guccifer email was... sent through a random Russian email relay???

NSO Group sells exclusively to governments. There is a quote from them in the top section of their Wikipedia page. [1]

>According to the company, it provides "authorized governments with technology that helps them combat terror and crime".

Russian email relays had nothing to do with the attribution of the Guccifer 2.0 hacks. Separately, the identity of Guccifer is known because he confessed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guccifer?wprov=sfla1

the wikipedia article clearly states that there was no proof he did it and it even says in the opening paragraph that it’s a lie by the US govt

You appear to still not understand that Guccifer and Guccifer 2 are two separate entities.
