So is there any evidence for it being done by China beside that its been done by the US before?

No that's why we all can naively say it isn't happening even though many of us here could do it ourselves as a fun side project.

Nobody in this thread is saying that but you, atm. I was just wondering if you were speculating or had any evidence. Id even be interested to hear more about your logic because "its possible and has been done before by other actors" isnt enough to convince me

Are you implying that people are not, in fact, IPs?

So you just are wildly speculating and assume this one technique you know about completely defeats teams of specialists with the budget of the richest country in the world

It's one thing to point out issues with attribution. It's another to just say since we can't say with 100% certainty let's just make up attributions.

Especially with no knowledge of the attributions certainty, they could be 99.9% sure

What OP is doing also happens to look like a disinformation technique.

> we can't say with 100% certainty

This admission is unknown to the general public, they "trust the experts" that it is 100 proven.

> let's just make up attributions.

If you aren't 100% it is Russia and scream Russia, that's what you are doing

>If you aren't 100% it is Russia and scream Russia, that's what you are doing

So anything attributing attacks to Russia is made up?

I think you've lost the benefit of the doubt I was giving you. The other reply to my post is probably right, you seem to be purposefully spreading disinformation.
