I'm curious, are people saying that "Russia doesn't do any hacking" or that "there isn't yet enough evidence that this specific attack is by Russia". Those are two very different claims.

I don't think there's any doubt about the former claim, personally. The latter though, I think it's too early to tell, especially since we've seen recently how certain hackers have explicitly started putting bait signs from other nation-states to misdirect.

Has there been any indication at all that it was Russia in particular? A lot of people believe it was a state-level attacker based on the sophistication of the attack, but even conceding that doesn't make Russia the only alternative.
