Eugenia L@tenderlove I wouldn't be too. sure it's some nation state that put together the whole scheme. It could also be a case of 2-3 friends engineers (a'la Office Space), putting together something that's eventually sellable in crime and espionage markets. From the mailing list, it seems to be a job of 2-3 ppl originally, and not just the commiter.
Matt Palmer@eugenialoli I don't see any reason to assume it wasn't just one person with a few sockpuppets.
